The History of Central County Emergency 911
Central County Fire Alarm was created in 1969 under the auspices and control of the Creve Coeur Fire Protection District. While the Alarm Center was removed in 1972, the facilities were maintained as a Fire Station until significant changes were made in 1978.
Central County Fire Alarm was reorganized as Central County Alarm Service in 1978 and moved to the City of Ellisville. A by-laws and agreement was prepared and adopted by the Fire Protection Districts of Ballwin, Chesterfield, Ceve Coeur, Eureka, and Manchester, along with the Municipalities of Fontenac and Town and Country. Central County was then established on a firm foundation and through the cooperation of each member, beginning to grow and expand its influence.
In early 1980 the organization purchased an entirely new communications system and revised the system of dispatching. Since that time the system has been refined and revised and today Central County offers the most modern and efficient form of dispatching service in the St Louis area.
The organization was not yet satisfied however, and in 1981 the Board of Directors reactivated the plans for a facility in which to house the Center. After construction and renovation, the Center was fully operational by January 1, 1983.
Central County Alarm Service would have become extinct long ago had it not been for the full and sincere cooperation of the participating entities. The spirit in which this cooperation is given is the driving force behind the organization and the contribution made by each entity is immeasurable. Truly, it reflects what can be done when individual organizations cooperate for a mutual undertaking.
