The Fairfield Fire Department has a long history of volunteers serving our community. The department was established in 1905 and remained strictly a volunteer department until 1958.

Currently, the Fairfield Fire Department provides fire and life safety services from five fire stations located throughout our community. Each station is staffed with a minimum of three full-time career firefighters. The full-time career firefighters are supported by reserve firefighters, as needed to meet service demands.

Our reserve firefighter program is designed to provide a chance for aspiring career firefighters to experience the job first-hand while providing supplemental staffing to the City. The program is geared towards those interested in continuing in the profession. Reserve firefighters are assigned to a shift and are trained and mentored by full-time career firefighters. When not in an "on-duty" status, they respond to the central fire station to support emergency operations.
