Welcome to the Monticello Fire Department website!

Ours is the largest fire department in Sullivan County, New York. We respond to more than 1200 emergency calls per year and to all life-threatening medical calls in our district.
We proudly serve our community – and have done so since 1875!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NEWS:
Smoke Detectors Must Have Non-Removable 10-Year Batteries

As of April 2019, a NY law requires all battery-operated smoke detectors sold in our state to be the sealed, NON-REMOVABLE 10-Year-battery-type of smoke alarm. We strongly encourage you to replace your old smoke detectors with these new, low-maintenance 10-year, sealed detectors. Since you won't have to remember to replace the battery each year, these new 10-year sealed alarms will likely save thousands of lives! Remember: you should have at least one smoke detector on every level of your home!

Burn Ban In Effect
There is an annual BURN BAN (no open burning outdoors) in Sullivan County from March to May each year. Springtime often means the groundcover is dry, and it can easily catch fire quickly and burn out of control. The annual burn ban has decreased spring wildfires by nearly 43% since 2009! Thank you for helping to keep our community safe!

  • As a local paramedic, I can attest to the pure professionalism that arrives every time a MFD member and apparatus arrives on a scene... Thank you for your professionalism!

  • Last night our carbon monoxide detector was beeping. We called 911 and within seconds a volunteer fireman in his personal car showed up along with a fire truck. Fortunately, the carbon monoxide detector was just defective and everything was okay, but we are so very impressed with how quickly and how many responded.

  • I thank the Monticello Fire Dept for allowing the Sullivan County Fire Police Assn to host a 4-hr review class for Fire Police last night (the 21st). 80+ Fire Police Officers from all over NYS and a few from PA attended. We had a great time and Capt. Kinch was super. Thanks again.

  • Our Monticello Fire Department is awesome! Wayne, Mike, & Chris volunteered to save Christmas for Austin-Michael by retrieving his $150 drone from the top of a tree! It was no emergency of course, but their willingness to save the day meant a lot to us! Way to go guys!!! Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Happy New Year!
