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.
