Fire Department

The members of the Crystal River Fire Department are recognized as leaders in the profession and as community role models. They provide responsive services to the citizens by investing in training, education, tools and equipment. They are being accountable to each other and strive to promote one another’s abilities as they guide the department into the future.

The Crystal River Fire Department duty is to protect the lives and property of our citizens, business owners and visitors to the City of Crystal River by providing the highest level of service through fire and life safety prevention, public education, emergency medical services on a first responder's level, fire suppression and the mitigation of the effects of natural disasters.

In addition to fire suppression, the Fire Department is involved in search and rescue operations, working closely with other city and county agencies to ensure the safety and welfare of the community.

Understanding that education is the key to prevention, the department offers their services to the public to educate in fire safety and preventative measures.  They attend civic events and demonstrate their equipment to the public.
