The Metro West Fire Protection District has been serving the community since 1934. It was organized as the Community Fire Association from in 1934. In 1957, district leaders began laying the foundation of the volunteer association that would bring a bright future. In 1957, the Volunteer Association was dissolved when the citizens voted to form the Ballwin Fire Protection District. As more areas incorporated into cities ( Ellisville, Clarkson Valley, Wildwood ) we changed our name to meet the growing needs of the community and better represent our jurisdictional boundaries. On April 9, 1993, the name of the organization was changed to Metro West Fire Protection District. Still serving the same 57 1 miles, we provide services to all or portions of Ballwin, Chesterfield, Clarkson Valley, Castlewood, Ellisville, Sherman, Wildwood, Winchester, and unincorporated St. Louis County. As we continue to grow, we strive to provide the best human resources, tools and equipment to meet the needs of the citizens. We firmly believe that our organizations fire suppression, paramedic/EMS, rescue, all hazards preparedness/injury prevention, emergency management, and specialty services make us standout as a leader.
