At Divide Volunteer Fire Department, every alarm answered and every life safeguarded is a testament to the courage and dedication of our neighbors — your neighbors — who stand ready around the clock.
Divide Volunteer Fire Department has been a cornerstone of safety for Mountain Home and the surrounding Edwards Plateau communities for generations. What began as a small group of neighbors committed to looking out for one another has grown into a well-trained, well-equipped department that responds to every call with professionalism and heart.
Our team is made up entirely of volunteers — teachers, farmers, tradespeople, and retirees — who give their time, their training, and their courage so that you can sleep soundly. We answer every alarm as if it were our own home at risk.
From emergency response to prevention and education, we provide the full spectrum of fire and rescue services to keep Mountain Home safe.
Structural fires, vehicle collisions, medical emergencies, and hazardous material incidents — our volunteer firefighters respond swiftly and effectively, day and night, every day of the year.
We conduct business and residential fire inspections, review building plans for safety compliance, and identify hazards before they become catastrophes — because prevention saves lives.
From school visits and fire drills to hands-on demonstrations at community events, we teach residents of all ages how to prevent fires, escape safely, and respond in emergencies.
We offer free smoke detector installations and home safety assessments for elderly and vulnerable residents, ensuring every household in our coverage area has working alarms and a plan.
Our department maintains thorough incident documentation and works closely with local agencies to ensure accurate records, insurance support, and community safety planning.
Trained in wildland firefighting, technical rescue, and emergency medical first response, our team coordinates with regional agencies to handle complex incidents across the region.
There are meaningful ways to support the work we do and strengthen the safety of our community.
No prior experience required. We provide full training — including fire science, EMT certification, and rescue operations — for anyone committed to serving their community.
Join us at station tours, National Fire Prevention Week activities, and community festivals. We bring the truck, the gear, and the knowledge — you bring your family.
Donations of equipment, supplies, or financial contributions help us maintain our apparatus and keep training at the highest standard. Every gift makes a difference.
Whether you need to report an emergency, schedule a safety inspection, or learn how to get involved — we're here for you.
