Sherman County fire protection services are provided by the Sherman County Rural Fire Department.  The department is supported by approximately 45 volunteer firefighters between three fire stations that respond to fires and other emergencies within the county.  The stations are located in Kanorado, Goodland, and Brewster.

The County is divided into three regions with each region being primarily served by one of the three stations.  The three regions are shown in the map below.  Although each region has a primary station that dispatch will contact first in the event of a fire or emergency, other stations may also be contacted to assist or provide mutual aid if the fire/emergency requires it.
