Mehlville Fire Protection District employees who are members of IAFF Local 1889 include firefighters, paramedics, inspectors, office and other support staff, and mechanics.
Dating to the early 1930's, the Mehlville Volunteer Fire Department officially chartered with the State of Missouri in 1935. Early on they operated a 1925 Ford Model T equipped with a farm style irrigation pump. They later obtained a 1919 American LaFrance pumper from the St. Louis Fire Department. It was destroyed in an accident in 1939. As a result, Mehlville purchased its first new pumper in 1940.
The all-volunteer force functioned until 1953 when voters approved the formation of the Mehlville Fire Protection District. Encompassing an area of approximately forty-seven square miles, there were two part-time paid positions, supplemented by the volunteers.
In 1957, a bond issue was passed and as a result three new stations were built and staffed by a total of eighteen paid firefighters and a fire chief.
In 2005 we answered 10,633 total alarms, fire and EMS.
Today, the District has approximately 150 employees operating from seven stations, protecting nearly 200,000 people living in a 52 square mile area. The firefighters and paramedics operate seven engine companies (including a pair of 75' quints) a heavy rescue, a 100' aerial platform, five Advanced Life Support ambulances and a host of other staff and support units.
