meet your new fire station!

Grand Opening

On September 28, 2023, Fort Ellis Fire/Rescue Board of Trustees, leadership, firefighters, and members of the public gathered at the department’s annual fall picnic to celebrate the grand opening of the long-awaited new fire station. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our new station fundraising campaign! Thanks to the generosity of many Fort Ellis residents, local businesses, and area grantors, we have raised $1M for the new station.

Key benefits to the community

  • Mutual aid to Bridger Foothills Fire

    Mutual Aid

    We provide mutual aid to all surrounding districts, so the success of our station impacts all residents of Bozeman. We were second on scene at the Bridger Foothills Fire and worked it until the very end. We want to always be able to help all of our Bozeman neighbors.

  • Fort Ellis Fire Station

    Room for Growth

    Ample space to store all Fort Ellis Fire/Rescue fire trucks and support vehicles, increasing vehicle lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. Fort Ellis continues to grow, and we must grow with the community to continue providing quality fire and EMS services to our area.

  • Engine 1-2 responds on Bozeman Pass

    I-90 EMS & Fire Services

    Continue to serve the I-90 corridor where millions of people travel through each year, and we provide critical and timely fire and EMS services.

Thank you for your support!
