Thank you for visiting the Boise Fire Department web site and your interest in our organization. Our essential mission and number one priority is to deliver the best possible service to our customers. 

The Boise Fire Department is one of the most progressive, innovative and dynamic fire departments in the nation. This is demonstrated by our goal to always be nice and treat others with respect, kindness, patience, and consideration. The Department takes pride in its ability to serve the needs of our community. Each day, our citizens call upon our 225 firefighters to respond to a variety of emergencies including structure fires, emergency medical responses, swift water and dive rescues, hazardous materials and technical rescue situations. Fire prevention and education also play a major role in our service to the Community. The Boise Fire Department is committed to keeping Boise the Most Livable City in the Country.
