Fire prevention, smoke alarms, department tours, and emergency services.
The Miami Fire Department (MFD) provides fire suppression services, emergency medical services, hazardous materials mitigation at the operations level, and rescue technician level services within the City of Miami's 45-square-mile response area.
The MFD came into existence as a volunteer fire department in 1905, and was established as a full-time paid department in 1910. Jess Kern was the fire chief, Herman Beck and Glen Kern were firefighters. They were on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Their salary was a mere $40 per week.
Since 1910, the department has grown from three full-time fire personnel and one fire station to 28 firefighters and two fire stations servicing a population of more than 13,500 residents. Currently, the City of Miami enjoys an ISO rating of 3.
The mission of the Miami Fire Department shall be to protect lives and property from fires, medical emergencies, and all natural and man-made disasters. We will respond in a professional, courteous, and timely manner, providing our customers with the highest level of public service. We shall reduce the rate and severity of emergencies through continuous training, public education, fire prevention, and disaster management services. To maintain the great public trust bestowed upon us, we shall adhere to the highest ethical standards in all we do.

To schedule a station tour or a senior home safety check, simply call Fire Department Headquarters at 918-542-6685 or 918-542-4164. Our dedicated fire department personnel go to great lengths to ensure your group has an informative as well as enjoyable experience. If you are a senior, we will come by your home and check the operation of your smoke detectors, replace one if need be, and provide you with any other recommendations that we determine will reduce your risk for fire or other life safety concerns.
The Miami Fire Department currently offers a free smoke alarm to anyone that needs one. These smoke alarms can be procured by calling Fire Department Administration Headquarters at 918-542-6685 or 918-542-4164. Once your contact information is attained, we will send Fire Department personnel to install a smoke detector in your home.
Remember to change your detector battery when you change your clock. Some newer alarms have a special battery that you don't have to change. Instead you replace the detector itself. Smoke alarms can become dusty or otherwise malfunction over time. Your average smoke alarm should be changed every three to five years (per manufactures recommendations). Install smoke alarms on every level of the building, including the basement, and in every bedroom. The alarm can be placed on the ceiling or on the wall; however, it is recommended that it be placed on the ceiling. The alarm should be no less than six" from corners.
