Welcome!

The Osage Beach Fire Protection District's vision is to provide the highest quality of services possible to the citizens and visitors of the community. This is accomplished through fiscal responsibility, training, firefighter safety, fire prevention and planning; while maintaining a constant eye on the future needs of the people and communities that we serve.

We have 4 fire stations, 2 are staffed on a 24 hour basis with 8 persons per shift. We also have 7 full-time administrative positions and approximately 10 volunteer firefighters.

We provide emergency services within a 105 square mile area of central Missouri, which includes the City of Osage Beach, northeastern Camden County, and southwestern Miller County. Although this area has approximately 10,000 permanent residents, the population can soar to 200,000 during the summer season.

AwareUS

On Thursday, June 3, 2010, the Osage Beach Fire Protection District implemented AwareUS notification system. AwareUS is designed for geographical locations to receive “real time” awareness for emergencies and information that relate to public safety. Over 90% of the Osage Beach Fire Protection District lacks coverage of warning sirens; this is the most cost effective way to communicate to the citizens and visitors in a time of emergency. AwareUS is a text paging system that will alert the public with information regarding Amber Alerts, Severe Weather, Road Closures, ect. Sign-up for the program is at NO COST to the public.

Implementation of the program will be in three phases. Phase 1 is for the Tri-County area (Camden, Miller and Morgan), which is currently operational. Phase 2 is to include the Convention and Visitors Bureau and Tri County Lodging. These organizations would offer this service to people visiting the area. Warnings or alerts that are seen on television or heard on the radio give you the county the notification affects. Unfortunately, most people that visit the lake area do not know what county they are located in, so they may not be aware if the warning affects them. Visitors would be able to sign up for the dates/times that they are in the lake area, thus not receiving messages once they depart. This program would also benefit the large fishing tournaments in the area by notifying anglers while they are on the water of severe weather alerts.

The 3rd phase would be to include the school districts. During incidents or emergencies at a school, this program could be used to notify parents/guardians and give them instructions on where to go, what to do and/or what not to do.
