Who We Are
A combination department built for a growing district
The Brookline Fire Protection District protects Brookline and the surrounding unincorporated areas of Greene and Christian Counties. Our career staff work alongside a volunteer roster that has served this community for six decades.
Crews run three shifts on a 48-hour-on, 96-hour-off rotation, so there is always someone on the floor and an engine ready to roll. Most of what we answer is medical, and nearly every firefighter here is a licensed EMT.
What We Do
Four divisions, one mission
Emergency Medical
Basic life support on every medical call, with firefighters cross-trained as licensed EMTs.
EMS DivisionCommunity Risk Reduction
Smoke alarms, car seat checks, CPR training, and fire safety education that stop emergencies before they start.
CRR ProgramTraining
EMT courses, a full Fire Academy, and CPR classes open to our members and the wider community.

The bond funds a third station in the northeast quadrant — where 65% of our call volume originates — along with replacement engines, a new ladder truck, SCBA, bunker gear, and P-25 compliant radios.
Response times in that quadrant are expected to fall from 8 minutes 27 seconds to under 5 minutes.
