Gardenville Fire Department

==History==
The Gardenville FD merged with the Affton Fire Protection District in 1983 after voters in both districts approved the merger during a general election. Both districts accepted a total tax rate of 88 cents. The rate was the same as Affton's current tax and 15 cents higher than Gardenville's. The difference was a 15-cent ambulance tax now levied by Affton that was extended to Gardenville.
Gardenville FD did not have an ambulance itself. Their ambulance was purchased and operated by the Gardenville Volunteer Firefighters Association, a non-profit organization formed by the volunteers. After the merger the GVFA donated all of its assets (ambulance 705, accessories and stock, along with any remaining funds) over to the Affton Fire Protection District.
