Fire • Rescue • Emergency Medical Services
The USPD Fire Department operates under the Public Safety Division (PSD) of the United States Police Department (USPD). It serves as the primary component responsible for Fire & Rescue operations and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) across USPD jurisdictions.
Our department’s mission is to protect life, property, and the environment through rapid, coordinated, and professional response to fires, medical emergencies, technical rescues, and hazardous situations.
Our Role
As part of the USPD’s integrated Public Safety model, the Fire Department works side-by-side with Law Enforcement and Public Safety Officers to ensure immediate and unified action during critical incidents.
Our firefighters are also certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or Advanced EMTs (AEMTs), ensuring that life-saving medical care begins the moment we arrive on scene.
