Mission Statement
The mission of the Orange City Fire Department is to prevent or minimize the loss of life, damage to the environment, and loss of property from the adverse effects of fire, medical emergencies, and hazardous conditions.
About the mission Statement
It has been said that people call the fire department when they don’t know who else to call. This concept is captured in the mission statement of the Orange City Fire Department. The men and women of the OFD protect untold numbers of visitors and workers in addition to the more than 142,ooo* residents every day. The Prevention Section of the Services Division works to prevent and minimize emergencies before they happen.
When emergencies do happen, the Operations Division responds to, stabilizes, and mitigates them aggressively with well trained personnel and excellent equipment and fire engines. The Orange City Fire Department requires top-caliber firefighters due to the wide variety of possible emergencies in the city for which they have to prepare. They train for all kinds of fire and life safety emergencies that could occur in the city, including medical, high-rise, wild-land, railroad, pipeline, trench, confined space, swift-water, hazardous materials, terrorism, freeway, and structure fire emergencies, among others.
