New Melle Fire Protection District

The New Melle Fire Protection District (FPD) 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.

New Melle FPD currently has 12 full time professional firefighters and firefighter/paramedics as well as 28 volunteers who serve to protect the residents and property of the district.  On April 8, 2003, a tax increase was passed by voters in the district that facilitated adding enough paid firefighters so as to provide 24-hour, 7 day per week emergencyresponse from NMFPD’s Station 1 with 3-person crews.  This 24/7 service commenced on January 5, 2004.

The district owns a total of 12 vehicles, including three rescue pumpers, a reserve pumper, two pumper tankers, three brush units,  a utility vehicle, and two staff vehicles.  The New Melle FPD currently responds to approximately 900 calls for service including fires, hazardous materials, heavy rescue, water rescue, and EMS incidents.
