The Eolia Community Fire Protection District covers 100 square miles of south - central Pike and North - central Lincoln Counties in Missouri. The area is a mostly rural agricultural area with small bedroom communities. We serve the communities of Eolia, Whiteside, Edgewood, and the surrounding community. We are also second due to the surrounding communities of Cyrene, Paynesville, Calumet, Louisville, Silex, Bowling Green, Clarksville, Annada, and parts of Elsberry. The Eolia Community Fire Protection District is NOT supported by a property or sales tax as most districts are (of all districts covering Pike and Lincoln Counties, only Eolia Community, is now not tax supported.)
