A Message from Fire Chief Michael F. McDonnell:

The mission of the Omaha Fire & Rescue Department is to provide  fire, rescue, emergency medical and support services to all citizens and visitors in the Omaha Metropolitan area so they can live, work and play in

                    "SAFE CITY USA®".

Please review the information on this website and if you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.

Medic Alert Cards "MAC" can help save your life! 

If you are unconscious or so sick you can not convey your Medical History, the "First Responders" will have to make life saving decisions without your medical history.

Use of our Medical Alert Card can help prevent needless complications when receiving emergency treatment from our First Responders. It could even help save your life! 

 Smoke alarms save lives! Don't Leave Your Home Without One!

A working smoke alarm can increase your chance of survival in a fire by 50%! Change the battery in your Smoke alarms every six months during daylight savings time and test them once a month!  The Omaha Fire Department will have fire trucks install smoke detectors for FREE with no cost to the city! Every fire truck  is responsible for a designated area of the city or Fire Management Zone (FMZ). Call  the Public Education Bureau at 444-3560 and we will assign the fire truck in your zone to contact you to arrange an appointment!
