Being a member of the Missouri State Fair Volunteer Fire Department is a unique and rewarding experience that embodies the spirit of community service and dedication. For 11 days each August, our team stands ready to protect the lives and property of the guests attending the Missouri State Fair, the only fully functional fire department in the nation dedicated to serving a state fair during its active days.
Volunteering our time is not just about firefighting; it is about commitment to safety, camaraderie, and the joy of serving others. Each member brings their skills, passion, and a sense of duty to ensure that every fairgoer can enjoy the festivities with peace of mind. Our presence is a reassurance that help is always nearby, ready to respond to any emergency that may arise.
The success of our department relies heavily on the time, dedication, and loyalty of our members. Without their unwavering commitment, we would not be able to function effectively. Additionally, we are grateful for the support from local districts and vendors who generously donate equipment, ensuring that we are well-equipped to handle any situation. This collaboration highlights the strength of our community and the shared goal of safety for all.
If you are interested in becoming part of this amazing team, we invite you to apply. Applications are currently being accepted, and you can find more information by visiting the Fire Fighters Association of Missouri (FFAM) website or the Missouri State Fair Volunteer Fire Department’s Facebook page. Join us in making a difference and serving the guests of the Missouri State Fair with pride and professionalism.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to a vital service that enhances the safety and enjoyment of one of Missouri’s most cherished events. Together, we can continue to uphold the tradition of excellence in fire service at the Missouri State Fair.
