El Paso Fire Department

El Paso Fire Department The official page of the El Paso Fire Department. For emergencies dial 911. The El Paso Fire Department is a full-service fire department.

We respond to all calls involving fires, medical emergencies, and hazardous materials events in the City of El Paso. Specialized teams respond to water, mountain, and technical rescues. We also respond to many other types of emergency events. The department provides mutual aid to Fort Bliss Military Base and the County of El Paso under the terms of the Mutual Aid Agreements. When an emergency event occurs the role of the Fire Department is to arrive on the scene as quickly and safely as possible in order to provide assistance and mitigate the emergency. The Fire Department responds to over 70,000 emergency calls annually. The Fire Department utilizes resources from the community to limit the number and types of emergencies that occur. The inspectors of the Fire Prevention Division help ensure that the building and fire codes are followed. All businesses are inspected for fire hazards annually. If inspectors find any, the owner or occupant is required to fix them and bring them up to the requirements of the code. Investigators help ensure that suspicious fires are thoroughly investigated and people that commit these types of fires are brought to justice. The Public Education unit trains citizens and children in fire safety and how to use fire extinguishers.

This October, EPFD is donning pink! 💕

Next month, our firefighters will proudly wear pink badges in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in support of the warriors in our community who have been impacted by any form of cancer.🎗️

Cancer has touched far too many lives. This October, we’re standing together for those fighting, those who have fought, and those we carry with us every day. 🫶🏻

EPFD firefighters, if you haven’t ordered your pink badge yet, now is the time! Get your order in so it arrives in time for October.🔥

Warriors wear pink! 💪🏻🩷
