Evergreen Fire Rescue, MT

The Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department was incorporated in 1959 and the club’s purpose was primarily “to provide fire protection to the residents of the Evergreen area east of Kalispell, other areas as needed, and for social and recreational pleasure of its members.” The Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department grew to be a community focal point, whether in Evergreen or at the Fair, for fifty years.

Currently the Evergreen Fire District, aka, Evergreen Fire Rescue serves a population of about 9,000. Residential and commercial development, and annexations, during the last sixty years, has increased the District area to 23 square miles and the tax base to $17,411,939 in 2013. Its focus has evolved to providing emergency services from its original design of fire protection.
