What We Do
Fire/EMS
We provide the first line of defense to mitigate fire and emergency medical emergencies in our response district. Our neighboring districts occasionally require assistance and we have standing mutual aid agreements with all surrounding jurisdictions to assist with coverage in those areas. In 2018, we responded to more than 1700 EMS calls and 900 fire runs, respectively.
Public Education
The department is engaged in a continual effort to provide fire and life safety information to the community. We accomplish this by providing educational programs in numerous schools, daycare facilities, and civic organizations throughout the district. We also occasionally host groups for public education fire safety classes and tours of the firehouse are available upon request.
Fire Inspection/Hydrant Testing
BFPD also maintains a regular schedule of inspections of commercial occupancies in the district. This aids with fire code compliance and with crew familiarization and hazard identification. You may also see your firefighters out doing hydrants maintenance and testing. This is an annual effort to make sure an adequate water supply is ready when needed.
