The Libby Volunteer Fire Department is composed of 30 volunteer members.
Our ISO rating (Insurance Services Organization) is protection class 3 which is the best rating of any fire departments in Montana. The rating is 1 to 10 with the lowest number being the best rating. This low rating translates into lower insurance rates for the Libby community and is a result of very dedicated volunteers who train extensively throughout the year. There are very few “all volunteer” fire departments in the US that have attained the rating of PC3.
