🚒 Ever wonder why you sometimes see neighboring departments’ apparatus in High Ridge?
This is what is referred to—or commonly called—Mutual Aid or Automatic Aid. It’s a vital part of how we keep our communities safe. Neighboring departments are often dispatched to structure fires, vehicle accidents, and other serious emergencies when additional resources or personnel are needed fast.
In addition, at High Ridge Fire, we regularly train with nearby fire districts and learn from experienced chiefs and crews. These joint trainings strengthen our response capability, build relationships, and ensure we’re ready to work together when it matters most.
Whether it’s across town or across district lines, cooperation saves lives.
We’re thankful for the partnership and professionalism of our neighboring departments—and we appreciate the opportunity to train and respond side by side. 👨🚒🤝🚒

Be smart. Be safe. Celebrate responsibly. 👨🚒🔥
Protect your hands, your home, and your holiday.

River & Water Safety SOP Reminder 🛟
As we head into the summer months, many in our community will head to rivers, creeks, and swimming spots to cool off. While these activities can be fun, they also come with serious risks. Please take a moment to review these essential river and water safety guidelines—and help us keep our community safe.
✅ Never swim alone: Always use the buddy system and let someone know your plans.
✅ Wear approved life jacket: This is especially important for children and in areas with fast-moving currents.
✅ Avoid diving: Never dive into rivers or unknown waters—hidden debris or shallow areas can cause severe injury.
✅ Supervise children at all times: Stay within arm’s reach of young swimmers or children near water.
✅ Know the water conditions: Avoid swimming after heavy rains when currents are stronger and water levels unpredictable.
✅ Stay out of restricted or non-designated areas: Respect warning signs and barricades.
✅ Avoid alcohol or drugs when swimming or boating: Impaired judgment and slowed reflexes increase risk.
✅ Be aware of cold water shock: Even in hot weather, river water can be dangerously cold and affect your breathing and mobility.
High Ridge Fire District encourages everyone to be smart and safe around water this summer. These simple practices can save lives.
Be safe.

Within the first few years of a firefighter’s career at High Ridge Fire, they begin the process of becoming certified through Missouri’s Driver/Operator Core program. This training goes far beyond simply driving a fire truck.
Firefighters learn how to safely and efficiently operate the pump system, position the apparatus strategically on emergency scenes, and manage water supply—skills critical to the success of any incident response.
As the fire service evolves, so do the expectations of our personnel. Today’s firefighter is expected to master multiple disciplines, and driver/operator training is a vital step in that journey. It`s all part of our commitment to professional growth and ensuring that we deliver exceptional service to the community we serve.
You may see us out in the mornings checking over our trucks, running pumps, or reviewing training scenarios based on what we’ve learned. Be sure to give us a honk or a wave—we love the interaction and support from our community!

🚒 As summer temperatures climb, it’s important to take simple but effective steps to prevent heat-related illness. Hydration is key—drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and a hat to help your body stay cool. During the hottest parts of the day, try to limit outdoor activity and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning. Be aware of warning signs like dizziness, fatigue, headache, or nausea, which can indicate heat exhaustion. These symptoms can escalate quickly, especially for young children, older adults, and first responders in the field.
At High Ridge Fire, we care about our community and hope these simple tips help you enjoy a happy, healthy, and safe summer. 🔥
