Currently, the Whitefish Fire Department operates out of two stations: Station 21 is within City Limits and Station 22 is at the southeast end of the Whitefish Fire Service Area.
Station 21 is located at 275 Flathead Avenue in the City’s Emergency Services Center, which houses our administrative offices, career staff’s living quarters, and ten apparatus bays.
S
tation 22 is located at the intersection of Whitefish Stage and Hodgson Roads. This station belongs to the Whitefish Fire Service Area and is used by the Whitefish Fire Department to provide fire protection to the southern portions of the Fire Service Area. Our training building and four apparatus bays are at this station.
