Everyone has a 9/11 story.

Where you were.
Who you were with.
What you remember.
Who you lost.
Who you will never forget.

When we share those stories, we keep their memories alive—not only the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, but also those we have lost in the years since from illnesses connected to that day.

Today, tell the stories. Listen to the stories. Say their names.

Where were you on September 11, 2001?

We remember.

As you drive by our Station 3, you’ll see 343 American flags placed in the yard by our firefighters.

Each one represents a firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.

Today, their memory stands outside our firehouse.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Happy Labor Day from the Fenton Fire District!

Today, we recognize the hard work and dedication of the people who keep our community moving every day.

Whether you’re enjoying a day off, spending time with family and friends, or one of the many still on the job today, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day.

And to our crews on duty—thank you for always being ready when our community calls.

Commitment Beyond the Call.

Serving Beyond Fenton

Three of our Fenton firefighter/paramedics recently had the opportunity to serve with the Missouri State Fair Fire Department—and this year marked its 65th anniversary!

The State Fair Fire Department is believed to be the only fully functional fire department in the nation that operates just 11 days a year. This year, it brought together 127 volunteer personnel from 69 fire departments across Missouri.

During those 11 days, crews responded to 214 emergency calls, supported by six ambulances, three fire trucks, two tankers, three squads, command vehicles and UTVs.

We’re proud of our firefighters for representing Fenton and working alongside first responders from across Missouri. It’s a great example of the teamwork and relationships that make the fire service special.

Commitment Beyond the Call.

🛑 Missouri law states that on a two-lane road, if a school bus is stopped and displaying warning signals, drivers must stop when meeting and following the bus.

School is back in session!

The first few days back mean more buses on the road, more kids at crosswalks and a few extra cars trying to make it before the bell rings.

Help us keep everyone safe:

* Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
* Watch closely for kids walking and biking.
* Stop for school buses with flashing red lights and the stop arm out.
* Buckle up and put the phone away.
* Leave a little extra time for the morning commute.

Here’s to a safe school year filled with learning, new adventures and great memories!

Commitment Beyond the Call.

Why We Train

This Week's Scenario: High-Angle Rescue

High-angle rescues are uncommon, but when they happen, they require precision, teamwork, and technical expertise.

In this training, our crews operated from a wall approximately 40 feet high, using ropes, specialized equipment, and mechanical advantage systems to safely lower a rescuer and raise a patient secured in a rescue basket. Every movement is practiced, communicated, and coordinated to ensure the safest possible outcome in a challenging environment.

That's why our firefighters and paramedics regularly train, practice patient care, and refine rescue techniques before they're ever needed.

We hope we never use these skills—but we're committed to being ready if we do.

Commitment Beyond the Call.

Forging the Future

A single day can spark a lifelong passion.

Fenton Firefighter Community Outreach's Forging the Future camp gives participants the opportunity to experience hands-on firefighting and EMS skills while learning about the many roles first responders play in serving their communities. From teamwork and problem-solving to patient care and rescue techniques, the day offers a glimpse into a career built on service.

One of the most rewarding parts of this program is seeing former participants continue their journey by becoming firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, or pursuing other careers in public safety.

To this year's participants—we can't wait to see where your journey leads. We look forward to watching you forge your own path into this incredible profession.
