As your Fire Chief, I am honored to lead the Bigfork Fire Department and serve a community that values safety, resilience, and the well-being of its people. Our fire department is committed to protecting lives, property, and the environment through rapid Fire and EMS emergency response, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, fire prevention education, and community outreach. Through these diverse services, we aim to secure the citizens and businesses of Bigfork, ensuring that our community thrives in a safe environment. Our collaboration with mutual aid partners also highlights our commitment to broader fire suppression and quality EMS services in Flathead and Lake Counties.
Fire safety is a shared responsibility, and your involvement makes a critical difference. We urge you to stay proactive by checking smoke alarms, practicing family escape plans, and staying informed about local hazards. Together, we can reduce risks and improve safety for everyone.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on training, upgrading equipment and facilities, and strengthening our partnerships with neighboring agencies. We’re not just preparing for the emergencies of today, but those of tomorrow as well.
Whether responding to fires, medical emergencies, or rescues, our team is here for you 24/7, ready to respond with professionalism, courage, and compassion.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in keeping our community safe and strong.
