After 10 years without a redesign, the Monarch Fire Protection District has overhauled its online presence with a new website. 

The new site went live earlier this month and is designed to be easier to navigate, more interactive and contain more information than the previous iteration. The district's board of directors agreed to pay CMS Express.com $3,250 for the new site at a June meeting. 

Chief Tom Vineyard introduced the new website to the board during their October meeting and said it took longer to complete than expected due to the amount of content that's on the site. 

Vineyard said the site was close enough to completion to go live and MFPD staff members will continue to add to more content in the future. 

Assistant Fire Chief John Borgmann has previously said the new website would be very interactive with Monarch employees updating the site, adding photos and posting other items.
