The Department's firefighters undergo regular training to stay prepared for structural and wildland fires, medical emergencies, rescues, hazardous materials response and more. Paramedics and EMTs deliver cutting-edge prehospital emergency care.
In addition to emergency response, the Bend Fire Department places a strong emphasis on community risk reduction through fire inspections, code enforcement, and public education programs. The Department actively works to make Bend fire safe through school programs, smoke alarm installations, wildfire preparedness outreach, and partnerships with organizations like Project Wildfire and FireFree Bend.
With Bend growing rapidly, the Fire Department is dedicated to expanding capabilities and facilities to match the community's needs. A fourth station, new ladder truck, and additional response units are planned to enhance services. The Department also coordinates closely with neighboring fire agencies for mutual aid response.
