Brief Department History

In 2011, the three fire companies serving the Town of Monroe (Mombasha Fire Company, Harriman Fire Engine Company, and Lakeside Fire and Rescue Company) merged to create the Monroe Joint Fire District. 

The three fire companies respond together for all calls within the boundaries of our Joint Fire District. By combining resources, the Monroe Joint Fire District is able to provide a wide range of fire and rescue services as part of a consolidated Department. 

The three companies work together on a daily basis, and routinely participate in joint training sessions to achieve the highest level of integration. Three Chiefs and several junior officers oversee the combined Department.
