The West Monroe Fire Department, located at 54 County Route 11 in the town of West Monroe, is in south eastern Oswego County. We serve the West Monroe Fire Protection District, a primarily suburban and country territory which includes several miles of Oneida Lake and State Route 49. (The town of West Monroe contracts with the Brewerton Fire Department to protect the Big Bay land area portion of town.) Founded in 1978, as West Monroe Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. We have a common Board of Directors composed of members of the Department. 

Hazards in our first due area include the Mirabito Propane filling plant, several mobile home parks, and large portions of Onieda Lake. In addition, we offer primary fire protection for a population of 4,500. We have over 50 volunteers operating 3 pieces of fire suppression apparatus, one Heavy Rescue truck, one light Rescue, one Tanker, one Air Boat and a Boston Whaler Rescue Boat. On average, we run about 350 calls a year, the bulk of which are EMS calls or vehicle accidents.
