What is now the Stonewall Fire Protection District (SFPD) began as the
only a handful of volunteers (maybe 8 or 10) with big hearts, strong
backs, but not much of anything else.
CF& I Steel Corp. donated the first fire engine (used, of course). The
volunteers were known as the “Gray Crew” because all the firefighters
were over 50 years old.
The District was created by a vote of the people in 1999 and was the
culmination of three years of intense effort by volunteers. It is supported
by tax revenues from a mil levy on property.
We have slowly but steadily grown into a volunteer team of approximately
34 men and women firefighters, EMTs, Search & Rescue personnel and
approximately 30 Auxiliary members.
SFPD encompasses 547 square miles of mountainous and foothill
terrain on the eastern slope of the Culebra Mountains. Within our
boundaries are:
