Mendota Heights Fire Relief Association manages the retirement funds for the department’s membership. Every year the City of Mendota Heights and State of Minnesota contribute financially to the Fire Relief Association’s retirement pension fund. This fund is managed by the State of Minnesota. Once a member reaches their 20-year anniversary they become fully vested upon retirement.
Beyond managing the department’s retirement fund, the Fire Relief Association also manages the department’s fundraising efforts to support various projects not covered in the city budget; such as the annual retirement banquet, scholarship programs, and community engagement activities.
The Fire Relief Association may accept donations. If you wish to support its efforts, please mail a check payable to the "Mendota Heights Fire Relief Association" to:
