Monmouth Fire Department

Welcome to the Monmouth Fire Department

The Monmouth Fire Department serves Monmouth, North Monmouth and the surrounding communities in Central Maine. We operate out of two stations with three engines, a tank truck and a boat. The department is comprised of roughly 50 volunteers including our members, juniors and auxiliary group. We have served the community since 1903 with a motto of "Lives and Property First".

Fire Danger

A camp fire can be a great way to relax and enjoy time outdoors, but if not handled carefully it can turn into a dangerous situation quickly. A single ember can start a brush fire if the conditions are right.

Check you local laws on camp fires and burning permits
Always get a permit when required!
Make sure you have the necessary water & tools available to extinguish.
Don't hesitate to call 911 if the fire gets out of control.
Check the local fire conditions before having any outdoor fires.

More information on obtaining a permit can be found here: Fire Permits

Smoke Deterctor Tips

Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button, and make sure everyone in your home knows their sound.
Replace all smoke alarm batteries at least every 12 months. A good time to change your batteries is during daylight savings time changes.
If an alarm “chirps,” this is a warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away.
Replace all smoke alarms (including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms) when they’re 10 years old (or sooner if they do not respond properly when tested).
Never remove or disable a smoke alarm.
Carbon Monoxide alarms are also a good idea to have. There are many combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms available on the market.

Smoke detectors save lives, please take the time to properly care and maintain them.
