About the District

From a volunteer company in 1919 to a full career department

The Florissant Valley Fire Protection District has grown from a small volunteer company founded in 1919 into a full career department of firefighter/paramedics. We respond to structure fires, medical emergencies, technical rescues, hazardous-materials incidents, and vehicle accidents, and we are one of the busiest fire agencies in St. Louis County.
