The Stewart Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1947 by a group of neighbors who recognized that their rural community deserved reliable, rapid emergency protection. What began as a handful of volunteers with a single truck has grown into a well-equipped, professionally trained department serving Stewart and the surrounding Choctaw County area.
Every member of our department answers the call as a volunteer. We maintain our station, train continuously, and stay on standby — not for pay, but because this is our community. When a call comes in at 2 a.m. or during a severe storm on a Sunday, we answer. That is the commitment we made, and the commitment we keep.
Our station at 47 Choctaw Street has been a landmark of safety in Stewart for generations. We work closely with Choctaw County emergency services, local law enforcement, and state agencies to ensure coordinated, effective response across the region.
