Central Taney County Fire Protection District

Central Taney County Fire Protection District (CTCFPD) is a rural fire district located in Taney Cou

We are primarily a volunteer fire department with a full time fire chief and secretary. We provide a full complement of fire and rescue services to 15,000 full time residents of our 140square mile fire protection district. In addition we have a seasonal population increase of approximately 200,000 people. We have 2 major lakes in our district that are used for fishing, boating and all other water

recreation. On our eastern edge of the district we have a very large portion of the Mark Twain Forest that see a lot of hiking activity all year around depending on the weather.
