Smithville Area Fire Protection District

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.
