The Monticello Fire Department is a combination department consisting of four professional career firefighters and 65 professional volunteer firefighters.  The Monticello Fire Department was organized in 1875.  Our district consists of the Village of Monticello and the Town of Thompson in Sullivan County, New York.  We are the busiest department in Sullivan County, averaging over 1000 calls per year.  The Monticello Fire Department also responds to all "life threatening" medical calls within our district.  Twenty five of our members are New York State Emergency Medical Technicians. 

Recognizing a need in Sullivan County, we have also formed a specialized Trench Rescue Team (TRT). Our TRT is ready to and has responded to collapse calls in various areas of Sullivan County as well as assisting our sister TRTs, Goshen FD and Mechanicstown FD in Orange County.
