About:

The primary responsibility of the Taylor Fire Department is to respond to and mitigate emergencies by limiting the effects of fire, natural disaster, medical and hazardous material incidents. This is accomplished through the use of emergency preparedness plans, fire prevention and code enforcement, public education, hazardous materials response teams, and other specialized programs.

The department’s primary effort is to provide effective fire suppression, ALS level emergency medical service, and hazard mitigation efforts within four minutes to any emergency scene in our City. The unifying goal is to help people through education and cooperation.

The department maintains three fire stations with two fire engines, one ladder truck and one shift commander vehicle. The Fire Department consists of 36 fire suppression positions and three administrative positions.

We will accomplish this mission through fire suppression, Advanced Life Support rescue, code enforcement, public fire education, fire investigating and professional training.
