What This Data Tells You About WOLF CREEK FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION

WOLF CREEK FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION operates as a Volunteer department in Farmington, within St Francois County, and the HIFLD and USFA records give a precise structural picture of its response capacity. The department reports 30 total personnel, 1 station, no truck inventory reported. EMS capability is listed as not provided, which directly affects how medical calls in the service area are routed and how quickly an advanced life support unit can reach a patient. Department type matters because career, volunteer, and combination organizations carry very different response-time profiles and funding sources.

WOLF CREEK FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION runs 50% above that state average, signalling a larger-than-typical crew likely tied to denser population or higher call volume. The state records about 43,100 fires, 95 fire deaths, and 52% volunteer coverage each year, which shapes training, funding priorities, and mutual-aid patterns felt at every department in the state.

Federal investment further defines this department's trajectory: WOLF CREEK FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION has received 1 FEMA grant totaling $660,728 through the AFG and SAFER programs, money typically spent on PPE, SCBA, training, and hiring or retaining career staff. Residents, insurers, and mutual-aid partners use these data points to judge whether coverage is adequate for the built environment, whether ISO ratings are defensible, and where future capital investment should flow.
