Golden Valley County’s response to both wildfire and structure fires is managed by the Golden Valley County Fire Department in partnership with the Lavina Volunteer Fire Department and Ryegate Volunteer Fire Department.

There are over 20 volunteer firefighters in Golden Valley who are on-call ready to respond to fires anywhere in the county. The firefighters have a history of responding in a timely manner and being successful in extinguishing the fire.

In the event of a fire that requires more resources than Golden Valley can supply, such as the Hop Creek Fire of 2022, Golden Valley partners with Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation and surrounding counties, through mutual aid agreements, to contain and extinguish the fire.
