City of Libby Fire Department
The City of Libby Fire Department, located at 119 East 6th Street, provides emergency and non-emergency fire protection services to Libby residents and businesses. Meeting the need for a full-time professional fire department within the city limits, the main company, initially formed in 1911, built and established itself at this location.
Station 1 The Lincoln County Rural Fire District was formed in 1955 to provide better protection for the citizens living outside the city limits. Since 1964, this department has been housed in the same station as the City of Libby Volunteer Fire Department, co-existing as one professional, well-trained entity sharing manpower and equipment. This merger allowed the organization to save money, improve efficiency, and enhance service coverage. As the population grew and the need for improving response times became evident, three more stations have been established over the years.
This department operates from a strategically located station situated at 330 River Run Lane North Hwy 37. Constructed in 2004, the department’s primary responsibility is to house fire apparatus and equipment allowing our firefighters to respond directly from their home or nearby location thereby reducing response times and ensuring quicker assistance during emergency situations.
The ultimate objective of this department, located at 38137 US Hwy 2 South, is to provide emergency firefighting operations and rescue resources for the residential, commercial, and industrial areas lying outside the southern edge of the city limits.
This station, newly constructed in the spring of 2019, is optimally located northwest of Libby at 94 Bobtail Road. Encompassing about a five mile radius, coverage extends from the Quartz Creek and Bobtail Ridge areas to as far as Bighorn Terrace located at the end of Kootenai River Road. This station and the volunteers behind it will bring wildfire suppression services to the densely forested communities of this area that many of our residence call home.
