 Established in 1885, the Orlando Fire Department began as a group of
dedicated volunteers. Operating as
"Orlando Hook and Ladder Company No. 1", "Orlando Hose Company
No. 1", and "Mechanics Hose and Engine Company No. 2", these
men proudly served to protect the lives and property of the 1,666
citizens of Orlando. Today the more than 550 men and women of the
Orlando Fire Department proudly continue this tradition with 17
Firehouses serving a population of over 224,000 people within a 110
square mile area, with the mission to:
"PROTECT LIVES AND
PROPERTY"
In
2006, the Orlando Fire Department upheld this mission through 55,121 incidents directly affecting 63,700 people.
