Our Mission
Under the leadership of Executive Fire Commissioner Chuck Simms, the Detroit Fire Department is committed to protecting the lives, property, and well-being of the residents and visitors of Detroit. Through dedicated service, rapid emergency response, fire prevention, and public education, we strive to ensure the highest level of safety for our community. With courage, professionalism, and integrity, we work as a team to save lives, reduce risks, and uphold our proud tradition of excellence.
Each of the Detroit Fire Department’s specialized divisions play a critical role in our mission. Fire Operations, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Marshal, Fire Investigation, Training, Communications, and Community Relations—work together to provide comprehensive emergency response, education, and public safety initiatives to the city of Detroit.
We are Detroit Fire.
The first Wednesday of every month at 6pm, we will be working to educate the public in topics ranging from fire safety and prevention to Hands Only CPR. Residents will hear from DFD experts and have an opportunity to have their questions answered in real time.
