Always call 911 if there’s an emergency. Facebook and other WFD social media sites are not monitored 24/7 and are not designed to handle requests for assistance. The Wichita Fire Department was organized in 1886 when Wichita outgrew the volunteer fire companies which had protected the City since 1872. Today, the Wichita Fire Department has evolved from its original purpose of fighting fires to its current task of providing a much broader level of emergency services to the public. Over the years, this expanded role along with a variety of community risk reduction activities and initiatives has allowed the Department to demonstrate exceptional community value. The Wichita Fire Department serves a resident population of over 366,000 people. In addition to the City of Wichita, the Wichita Fire Department also provides emergency responses throughout the metropolitan area through automatic and mutual aid agreements with surrounding jurisdictions.

Hopefully we met some future firefighters out there today!

Firehouse 4 gave a safety talk and equipment demonstration to a day care yesterday morning. The kids got to talk about how to call 911 in the event of a fire, what a geared up firefighter looks like when they come find you, and how it feels to flow the water. The kids had a blast, as did the crew. 😊
