Welcome to the Fort Pierre Fire Department homepage
Fort Pierre Fire Department (ISO Class 4) is dedicated to protecting and serving the city of Fort Pierre (population approximately 2,100 and an area of about 3 sq. miles) and the Stanley County area (population approximately 800 excluding the city of Fort Pierre with a land area of about 1,443 sq. miles). Total land acreage in Stanley County is about 904,960 acres. It is very common for us to travel in excess of 60 or 70 miles one way to a fire call. We work hard to stay focused on our mission, and take pride in knowing that, at the end of the day, we can say we helped to make the world and our community a better place.
If you’d like to learn more about our cause, our organization, or about how you can help with a donation of your money or your time, Contact Us with any questions you may have.
The Fort Pierre Fire Department is currently seeking motivated individuals to add to our team. If you are a resident of Fort Pierre, Stanley County or city of Pierre and are interested, please inquire about joining the department.
We are seeking active people to head the call when needed. This is a volunteer department, however, the "pay" is knowing you can help others when in need & the self gratification of helping the community as necessary. We do understand that being a volunteer means that response to every single call or every training session isnt possible due to work or family issues, but we request prospective members attend when possible. Just think, the next fire call just may be to your families' home and we want as many members respond as possible and to be trained to do our job quickly and effectively.
The department does pay for training, equipment, fire schools, etc. for the members. Hours are varied depending on fire calls. Training nights are as many Wednesdays as you can attend and an occasional Saturday or other than Wednesday night. Monthly meetings are 2nd Thursday of every month.
If you are between the age of 18 to 65 and have the desire to try something new & to help the community, let us know. We are available any Wednesday evening from about 7pm till about 10pm for applications & to look around. Or you may print off a copy of the application from our website and return it any Wednesday evening.
We look forward to meeting you and bringing you onto a very strong organization in the community!
