New Melle Fire Protection District The New Melle Fire Protection District (NMFPD) was organized over 50 years ago as an all-volunteer department. Currently responsible for protecting 121 square miles, it is the largest geographic FPD in all of St. Charles County. It has three fire stations: Station 1 (main) on Mill Street/Hwy Z near Hwy D, Station 2 on Hwy D at Hwy DD, and Station 3 on Borgman Road off Highway T, near the entrance of the Lake Sherwood development.	O’Fallon Fire Protection District The O’Fallon Fire Protection District was first formed in 1906 as the O’Fallon Volunteer Fire Department. In the early years the City of O’Fallon financed the fire department. Sometime shortly after World War II, the fire department was reorganized and became a separate entity from the City of O’Fallon and became a subscription fire department. Subscription fire department characteristically sell fire tags that are hung on a home or the main building of a farm complex and identifies you as a member of the fire department entitled to fire protection as a member. By the late 1960’s it became clear that this funding mechanism was not adequate. In June of 1970, the citizens in the area surrounding O’Fallon were asked to endorse a fire protection district by a vote of the people. The issue passed and we became the O’Fallon Fire Protection District.
St. Charles Fire Department The St. Charles Fire Department was established in 1861 and has a proud tradition of service to the community. The St. Charles Fire Department covers approximately 25 square miles and serves a population of approximately 65,000 people. The St. Charles Fire Department has 80 uniformed employees and a clerical staff of 4 employees. We operate from five firehouses and responded to 6,985 calls for service in 2005. In addition to fire suppression, the St. Charles Fire Department provides emergency medical services, hazardous material response, technical rescue, water and dive rescue, fire prevention and fire education programs to name a few.	Wentzville Fire Protection District The Wentzville Fire Protection District was originally formed as the Wentzville Volunteer Fire Department in 1928. During the early 1940’s, a committee was formed to send out letters to the public to solicit funds for a new pumper and equipment. In the early years, a variety of fundraisers such as baseball/softball tournaments and plays put on by the volunteers also served to keep the volunteer department running. There was also a voluntary public fire tag subscription system. In 1959, the first fire station was built to house the offices and trucks of the department. This station #1 still remains the District Headquarters and Fire Station #1 today.
