About Us

Hall Mountain Fire Association provides emergency medical response throughout our district, often serving as the first arriving unit during medical emergencies in our rural community.

All association volunteers are trained in Wilderness First Aid to ensure they are prepared to respond in remote and backcountry environments common in our area. In addition, many of our members hold advanced medical certifications and serve as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs).

Our EMS capabilities include:

• Initial emergency medical assessment and patient stabilization
• Basic life support and emergency first aid
• Assistance with cardiac and respiratory emergencies
• Trauma care for injuries resulting from vehicle accidents, falls, and other incidents
• Medical response in remote or wilderness locations
• Support and coordination with ambulance services during patient transport

• Landing zone setup and coordination for Life Flight and medical helicopter transport

In addition to medical calls, Hall Mountain Fire Association frequently assists with:

• Search and Rescue operations in partnership with local authorities
• Road hazards and traffic incidents
• Medical standby and support during emergency operations

Our volunteers are committed to maintaining the training and readiness necessary to provide rapid, effective care when our neighbors need it most.

Hall Mountain Fire Association provides a full range of fire suppression and emergency response services to protect the residents, property, and natural resources within our district.

Our volunteers are trained to respond to a wide variety of fire emergencies, from residential and structural fires to wildland incidents common in our rural and forested region. Many volunteers hold wildland firefighting certifications and regularly train to respond to fires in difficult terrain and remote environments.

Our fire response services include:

• Wildland fire suppression and brush fire response
• Structure fires involving homes, cabins, barns, and other buildings
• Vehicle fires and equipment fires
• Electrical fires and power-related incidents
• Chimney fires and heating system fires
• Fire containment and exposure protection to prevent fire spread
• Initial hazardous materials (HazMat) response and scene safety support
• Natural disaster response, including storms, flooding, and large-scale emergency events

In addition to fire suppression, the Association frequently assists with:

• Motor vehicle accidents and roadway emergencies
• Hazard mitigation, such as downed power lines, debris, or unsafe conditions
• Mutual aid support to neighboring departments during large incidents

Hall Mountain Fire Association volunteers regularly participate in ongoing training to maintain the skills and certifications necessary to respond safely and effectively. Our firefighters are committed to protecting both the community and the surrounding natural landscape that makes this area home.

Association Stations & Apparatus

Hall Mountain Fire Association operates three stations strategically located throughout the district to provide efficient emergency response to the communities we serve. Our apparatuses are equipped to respond to both structural and wildland fires, as well as a wide range of emergency situations common in our rural area.

Station #1

Location: Junction of Highway 1 & CR 51 (Porthill Loop)

Station #2

Location Highway 1 – Milepost 1

Station #3

136 Moyie River Road

Our fleet includes:

Structure Engines (3)

These engines are equipped to respond to residential, commercial, and structure fires. They carry firefighting tools, hoses, water supply, and rescue equipment necessary to protect homes, buildings, and property within the district.

Wildland Engines (2)

Designed for brush and forest fire response, these engines are built to operate in rugged terrain and remote environments. They are essential for protecting our forested areas and responding quickly to wildland fire incidents.

Water Tenders (3)

Because many areas in our district do not have hydrant systems, our water tenders transport large volumes of water to fire scenes. They play a critical role in supplying water for both structure and wildland fire suppression.

Portable Water Hydrant (1)

The department maintains a portable hydrant system that allows firefighters to quickly draft water from rivers, ponds, and other natural water sources to supply engines and tenders during firefighting operations.

Support Vehicle (1)

Our support vehicle assists with incident command, logistics, and operational support during emergency responses, training, and community events.

Together, this apparatus allows Hall Mountain Fire Association to respond effectively to fires, medical emergencies, and other incidents across our rural district while supporting neighboring departments through mutual aid when needed.

Hall Mountain Volunteer Fire Association was established in 1979 by community members who recognized and embraced the need for dedicated emergency services in the remote northern areas of Boundary County, Idaho.

We now have three fire stations, state-of-the-art apparatus, and dozens of volunteer firefighters, EMTs and EMRs, auxiliary, and board members who donate their time and money to serve you.

This community is not only committed to each other but also to supporting the Fire Association, enabling us to proudly boast that we are a community-funded organization. In return, areas of the Hall Mountain Service area are sometimes an hour or more from the hospital or law enforcement, and the people of Hall Mountain can rely on the training and equipment that our volunteer firefighters are provided through those funds.
