MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department is the protection of the community from fire and other emergencies through education, fire prevention code enforcement, emergency disaster planning, and the response of highly trained personnel.

Since 1837, Toledo firefighters have been protecting the citizens of Toledo first as volunteers, then in 1868 as paid firefighters. The first fire station was located on Cherry St. in 1837. Much has changed since those early years. Now, the Toledo Fire Department has 17 fire stations located strategically throughout the city staffed by over 475 firefighters. In addition to responding to fires, all Toledo firefighters are trained Emergency Medical Technicians with 135 also being certified paramedics. Each year the Toledo Fire Department responds to over 50,000 emergency incidents. These runs include fire, hazardous materials incidents, water rescue, confined space rescue, and homeland security.
