We Provide Protection That Suit Your Needs

We provide superior emergency care for our community while maintaining a Class 1 Fire Rating, awarded by the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana.

We currently respond to over 13,000 requests for emergency and non-emergency services annually.

How We Work

Our fire department has a rich history that began in 1968 when a group of dedicated volunteers came together after recognizing a critical need for fire protection in the community.

These volunteers laid the foundation for a service that would grow to meet the demands of a changing population. In the late 1980s, as the community continued to expand, we hired our first part-time employees to support our volunteer efforts.

By 1998, the department had grown significantly, and we proudly hired our first full-time firefighters, further enhancing our ability to protect and serve the community around the clock.

A Message from Our Chief

Welcome to the St. George Fire Protection District website.

The St. George Fire Department provides Fire and Pre-Hospital Medical Services for most of the area south and east of the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  We are a career fire department made up of dedicated, highly trained professionals.  We provide this service beginning with the initial request for services provided by our Communications Division all the way through the completion of the request by our Operations Division, Medical Division, and/or Fire Prevention Division.

St. George maintains a Class 1 Fire Rating, awarded by the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana.  We currently respond to over 12,000 requests for emergency and non-emergency services annually.

An important part of our Department’s culture and history is that we want to be an active community partner, not just an emergency response agency.  We pursue this goal through a variety of efforts ranging from our fire prevention and fire safety education programs, to our hosting groups of all ages for station tours.  Any information we can provide or opportunity for interaction with the public we can create furthers that goal.

This website is an important part of that effort.  Please browse its pages, pick up some information about fire and home safety, and learn more about us.  We hope our commitment to serving the public shows.
