Fire rescue operations
The mission of the Fire Rescue Operations Division is to provide the citizens and
visitors of Arlington with fast, professional, and effective fire, rescue, and emergency
medical services through the response of highly trained, caring personnel. Fire
Rescue Operations consists of five sections — Operations, Fire Training, Special
Operations, Fleet, and Fire Resource — and is comprised of resources typically
associated with fire department emergency service delivery and operations. We
continually strive to prevent loss of life, personal injury, and property damage through
public education and emergency responsiveness. We deliver our services with pride
and personal commitment to anyone in need of aid.
