St. Libory Volunteer Fire Department
St. Libory Volunteer Fire Department has 21 members and will be bringing on two new members which are starting fire training in January.   All of the fire fighters at St. Libory have gone through a full year of fire fighting school and are certified by the state of Illinois.   St. Libory Fire Department also has nine "First Responders" for medical assist emergencies.

We are a member of MABAS division 32. Our fire district is approximately 100 sq miles. We recently passed a bond issue for $775,000 for the construction of a firehouse. Our fire district purchased a former residence and surrounding property on RT 15 and plans are in order to remodel and convert the residence into district offices, meeting, and training areas. Large apparatus bays and restrooms will be constructed in the new addition to the former residence. There will be 3 drive-thru bays and one short bay to house all of the  fire department equipment.  Click here to view a rendering of the floor plan on the new fire station. We participate in many projects to constantly improve public relations such as Fire Safety Week each October.  We will respond to about 130 calls in 2009.

St. Libory Volunteer Fire department covers a large regional area and communities along with St. Libory such as Venedy, Johannisburg, Darmstadt, Lively Grove, Stone Church and provides mutual aid assistance to other local fire departments such as: Coultervillle, Marissa, New Athens, Addieville, Okawville, Freeburg, Fayetteville, Mascoutah, etc..
