The Libby Volunteer Fire Department is committed to the preservation and protection of life, property, and the environment from fire, disaster, and hazardous materials related incidents through emergency mitigation, public education, and code reinforcement.
The history of the Libby Volunteer Fire Department dates back more than 100 years. It has both a rich and colorful past that remains a foundational part of Libby’s identity. From the time a handful of regular citizens first banded together to offer protection, save lives, and provide emergency services, the LVFD has owned up to the age–old philosophy of "neighbors protecting neighbors".
The Libby Volunteer Fire Department carries an ISO Fire Protection Class 3 rating with the Insurance Service Office, an organization that collects and evaluates individual department’s fire suppression capabilities. Because of this rating, which is amoung the top 5% – 6% of fire departments in the nation, property owners benefit directly by receiving lower insurance premiums.
Beginning April 1st and lasting through June 1st of each year, the Libby Volunteer Fire Department hosts its annual fund drive to help meet its financial needs and budgetary obligations involving the daily operations of the department. Proceeds received from the sale of 500 tickets will help purchase supplies; fund firefighter training; meet building maintenance needs; pay utility, fuel, and insurance expenses; and equip firefighters with personal protective clothing and safety equipment. Twice a month throughout the year, a $100 winner will be drawn from the pool of ticket sales collected during the fund drive. If you are interested in purchasing a ticket, you may do so by calling the fire hall directly at 406-293-9217.
