Message from Fire Chief Jim Reynolds: 

"On behalf of the entire Orlando Fire Department, I would like to thank you for taking time to visit our website.  The Orlando Fire Department proudly serves the citizens and visitors of the great City of Orlando.  I can truly say that the Orlando Fire Department is one of the finest in the nation, and we are extremely proud of our tradition-rich department.

As the 17th Fire Chief of the City of Orlando, it is an honor to work with the fine men and women of this department. I hope you will be as proud as I am, to have them serve this outstanding community.

Our mission statement is simple:  Protect Lives and Property.

The City of Orlando is currently experiencing tremendous growth, and as our city grows, our department must grow as well to meet the needs of our city.  As the Fire Chief, I am truly excited by all of the changes and growth that the City of Orlando is experiencing.  Currently, the Orlando Fire Department has opened 4 new firehouses; with station 1 and 7 scheduled for relocation and construction in near future. This is unprecedented growth in the 122-year history of this department.

I would like thank you again for showing an interest in our department by visiting our website.  We look forward to bringing you the highest quality service possible."
