The Montebello Fire Department (MFD) celebrated 100 years of service in Montebello on June 22, 2022. Since its humble beginnings in 1922, the MFD has proudly saved and protected the lives and property of our residents. Carrying on the tradition of the first volunteer firefighters that served a century ago, today’s highly trained MFD firefighter/paramedics embrace the department’s core values of courage, commitment, and community in all aspects of their duty.

Over the course of the past 100 years, while the City of Montebello has grown and prospered, the MFD has been there to support the community all along the way. Beginning with horse drawn apparatus, today’s Fire Department has evolved to a fleet of three fire engines, one fire truck and one battalion vehicle. MFD serves more than 63,000 residents across three strategically placed fire stations, a Fire Prevention and Risk Reduction Division, the Montebello Community Assistance Program, and Fire Administration.

While the demands have grown and changed significantly since 1922, the men and women of MFD remain community-focused, value-centered, and dedicated to protecting the life and property of our residents and business owners.

We celebrate their history while looking to the next 100 years and beyond.
