The Mission of the Independence Fire District is
to operate a fire and emergency service. This service is for the prevention
and suppression of fires, protection of life and property, and administering
aid to person or persons through emergency medical technicians. This
service will respond to emergencies and natural disasters that affect our

Our services will not include explosive device
search and disposal or hazardous materials offensive operations.
Our service will support confined space rescue, and

the efforts of our paid and volunteer staff. By continually upgrading
our equipment, education and technical skills, we will be able to deliver
quality services to our citizens.

SAFER Grant Awarded
October 2, 2009
The Independence Fire District was awarded $325,140.00 by FEMA for
the Staffing for
Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program.
These
funds will go toward hiring three additional career firefighters and
help assist with the salary and benefit costs for up to a five year
period.
This is the second SAFER grant awarded to the
Independence Fire District. On September 22, 2006 the Fire
District received $310,500.00 to hire three career firefighters.
The goal of the SAFER grant is to assist departments in meeting
the guidelines developed by OSHA (OSHA 1910.134) and the National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA 1710/1720) of having four qualified personnel
on all front line/first due apparatus.
These three personnel
will be added early in 2010. |
