Smithville Area Fire Protection District

The Smithville Area Fire Protection District is seeking bids/proposals for the purchase of a used ladder truck. The district plans to make this purchase in 2024. Attached are the minimum specifications and requirements for the apparatus. 

On August 11, 2023, the Smithville Area Fire Protection District began staffing Fire Station #3 located at 18315 Collins Road in the Paradise community. Opening the station was the culmination of several changes. With the approval of a 35-cent tax increase, SAFD hired an additional 12 firefighters. SAFD also conducted a promotional process to fill new 3 new Captain positions. Now, 4 personnel (a Captain, a qualified Driver, and 2 Firefighter-EMTs) are assigned to each of the 3 shifts.
