Winter Park Fire-Rescue Department

Winter Park Fire Rescue is a full-service, high performance, emergency service agency. Our history of dedicated service dates back to the founding of our community more than 125 years ago. Those northern industrialist who came to central Florida seeking a place to enjoy life, nature, and family worked hard to build a community that was not only beautiful but was protected from the dangers of fire. Most of our founders had moved from northern cities where fire had been a serious threat. Large conflagrations in some of these major cities caused those who settled Winter Park to consider the importance of fire safety for their new city.
