Our first firehouse was in Gravois Mills in the basement of the Supermarket and later moved to a new facility which is still in service as G-1. We currently operate seven firehouses and one training and maintenance facility and provide service to 150 square miles, including 63 miles of shoreline. Our goal is to provide the best service possible to the citizens of the area we serve and meet our Mission and Purpose of protecting lives and property from destructive fires, prevention of destructive fires, performing emergency rescue and assisting in times of other emergency or disaster. Since our humble beginning, when two business partners, Jay Flenner and Larry Whittman, bought an old fire truck and started the Twin Bays Fire Department, then becoming the VFW Fire Department, in 1970 forming The Gravois Volunteer Fire Department and in 1992 The Gravois Fire Protection District was established.
