Montauk Rural Fire Department

Thank you to our local First Responders and everyone who came to our open house yesterday! We had a Dent Co Deputy, SMDH Ambulance services, a MO State Trooper, Air Evac and our MRFD volunteers and board members all there to share information and answer questions. Was a fun and informative afternoon for all. If you have pictures to share from yesterday you can post them in the comments!

Anyone in our area that has a pond with easy excess and would give permission for us to draft water from it only during a structure fire. Please message us so we can create a location on our map. In most cases you will not see any or very little drop in your water level. Pond would have to be 24/7 access. By establishing a water source closest to a fire scene saves time with refilling tankers. Ponds that are close to roads or driveways is better for establishing a quick refill. This also save on fuel expenses since we have to go to Montauk state park to refill and it takes 30 to 45 minutes to make that round trip. Please consider our request if you can. Please message or call 573 247-9648 if you can help.
