2024 Hanford Fire Department Facts

The Department

The Hanford Fire Department consists of three stations staffed with paid professional firefighters.  Each station is staffed with a Captain, who runs the station for their assigned shift; an Engineer, who is responsible for the safe operations and maintaining all apparatus; and a Firefighter, who operates and maintains the equipment.  Together they make up the station crew that routinely responds to mitigate emergencies and events.  The crew is occasionally augmented with interns and Volunteer Firefighters, who donate time for training and to advance in the fire service.  If interested in the Volunteer Firefighter program, contact our front office.  Intern Firefighters come from Fresno City College as part of their Fire Academy. 

Department Headquarters is located at Fire Station 1. Working out of Fire Headquarters is our administrative staff, including the Fire Chief, Office Assistant, and Community Risk Reduction staff.
