Allen Parish Fire District 3

Allen Parish Fire District 3 Apfd3 has four stations that are located at Grant, Mittie, Palestine and Black Jack. We have a total of 11 Apparatus and nearly 75 volunteers.

APFD3 was founded in the year 2000 to give fire protection to the communities we serve. Our mission has expanded over the years to provide basic emergency medical services as well. On our department we have EMR’s and EMT’s as well as firefighters that respond to emergency calls 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Our 4 stations are spaced throughout our communities to enable the best fire protection p

ossible. Our current PIAL (Property Insurance Association of Louisiana) rating is a 5. Our original rating was a 10 when the department was first founded. The lower this number the cheaper your home insurance rates will be. Each time we have been rated by PIAL our number has lowered and it is our continued mission to maintain this trend. We currently have a better rating than the majority of fire districts in this area. Being a rural area providing basic emergency medical services has become a very important part of our mission. Our members frequently respond to calls such as heart attacks, broken bones, vehicle accidents and have even delivered a baby. With ambulance services being a minimum of 10 – 20 miles away, and the nearest hospital being 25 plus miles away, our department can mean the difference in life and death to both residents and visitors to our area. Another increasing area where we respond to more and more is search and rescue. With the Whisky Chitto Creek being such a popular canoe destination for many the 8.5 miles of waterway is sparsely accessible by road requiring use of 4 wheel drive vehicles and water craft to locate injured people and transport them to a waiting ambulance. We will continue to provide the services and more to the best of our ability and strive to provide the best services we can.
