The Melbourne Fire Department has been protecting our community since 1916.
First established as the volunteer fire department of two small towns (Eau Gallie and Melbourne), the Melbourne Fire Department has grown over the years to become a full-service professional department it is today, meeting the needs of a city more than 44 square miles in size with more than 77,000 residents.
The Melbourne Fire Department is committed to responding to community needs by providing for the protection of life and property through innovative emergency medical care, fire suppression and hazard mitigation services. All stations are licensed in advanced life support and are staffed by paramedics. The Code Compliance Division is responsible for public education, building inspections and fire investigations. Personnel also aid in community disaster relief.
The Melbourne Fire Department is committed to the protection of life and property through reliable and innovative Emergency Care, Fire Suppression, Hazard Mitigation, Public Education, Fire Prevention, and Code Compliance Services in a customer oriented manner.
Our "VISION" is to set the example for others to benchmark their efforts.
