Rapid City Fire Department, Fire & Life Safety, Fire Corps

The Department primarily focuses its efforts on public education, fire prevention initiatives, preparedness and overall community risk reduction. Should these efforts fail, we are ready, prepared and trained to respond to a wide variety of calls for service. We do this with fire suppression resources, advanced life support transport services, a technical rescue team, a hazardous materials team, aircraft rescue and firefighting response and other services. These services are dispatched from 8 strategically located stations throughout the community.
