You may or may not know that one of the missions of the Missouri State Fair Fire Department is to support different causes throughout the State of Missouri so that we may be able to continue to progress one of our main missions, helping others. Many Fire Department, EMS, and Dispatch members come to our department to dedicate their time and energy, and when needed, we hope to be able to return the favor.
To achieve this mission, in 1998 the members of the Missouri State Fair Fire Department established our Union, International Order of Dragon Slayers. The purpose of this Union has been to raise funds for charitable causes that are brought forth and voted on by the members of the MSFFD. This year, we switched things up a bit and auctioned off items that were donated by multiple businesses throughout the State of Missouri.
We would like to recognize the following businesses for donating to our cause, because with their support, we were able to support all the causes brought forth to us by our members. In total, between our "Union Dues," "Fines," direct donations, and items donated for us to auction off to our members, we were able to raise $3200 dollars this year!
The following businesses contributed to our department auction and on behalf of the MSFFD and the Fraternal Order of Dragon Slayers, we would like to thank them for their support. If you have the chance, please support these businesses as they have supported us in our mission.

Good tips at the start of the school year.
Would your child know what to do if their school bus encountered a downed power line? According to Safe Electricity, passengers should stay seated inside the vehicle and call 911. They should not exit the vehicle until first responders deem it safe to do so. However, if the vehicle is on fire, passengers should jump out with their feet together, then “bunny hop” to safety.

Happy Day! We are SO thankful for all of our volunteer firefighters at the Missouri State Fair Fire Department!
As wraps up, I want to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Missouri State Fair Fire Department (the only one in the US that operates for just 11 days a year) and members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Thank you for keeping thousands of Missouri State Fair attendees safe. Well done!
We are thankful for all the fire and ems departments/districts in Missouri who send personnel and apparatus to support the Missouri State Fair Fire Department. These men and women volunteer their time for 2 weeks to provide fire, ems, public relations, communications, first aid, kitchen, and inspection duties. This all occurs within the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia. We also provide mutual aid support to adjoining agencies.
