Thank you, Northwest R-I School District, for recognizing our partnership in school safety!

Safe schools aren't the result of any one agency. They're the result of a team that works together - from emergency planning and drills to training and on-site familiarization at our schools. We're honored to be part of the team.

🚒 High Ridge firefighters recently got out on the water for some boat operations training and river familiarization!

Training like this gives our crews valuable hands-on experience with the watercraft they may use during an emergency. Depending on the situation, High Ridge Fire District can deploy inflatable rescue boats or rigid-hull rescue boats to help those in need.

It’s all about getting out there, learning, practicing, and staying ready to serve our community when it matters most.

🚒 On the Road Again — Training to Respond

Each year, High Ridge firefighters participate in a VFIS Emergency Vehicle Driving Course to test and evaluate the skills needed to safely operate fire apparatus.
The course includes several stations, including forward and reverse serpentine driving, narrowing lanes, small-area three-point turnarounds, and other evolutions designed to challenge and evaluate a firefighter’s driving abilities.

Operating an emergency vehicle takes constant training, practice, and attention to detail. Our firefighters train to safely navigate both routine and emergency situations while protecting their crew and the public.

Because getting to the emergency safely is just as important as what happens when we arrive. 🚨

Train hard. Drive smart. Stay safe.
