​The Boles Fire District was formed in 1971 by a merger of the Labadie Fire Department and the Gray Summit Fire Department. This formed the first tax supported fire district in Franklin County, Missouri. When the District formed, the members consisted of a three-person board of directors, a Chief and about 15 volunteer firemen.

 

Their call volume consisted of a handful of

alarms per year. It has grown into a

full-service Fire District that runs over 2,000 alarms

per year, covering 70 square miles and includes the four Townships of Labadie, Villa Ridge, Gray Summit, and St. Albans.
