TheAnaheim Fire & Rescue is the agency that providesfire protection andemergency medical services for the city ofAnaheim, California.
In 1857 theCity of Anaheim wasincorporated and the City's volunteer fire system was established.[3] Initially thevolunteer department consisted of twenty men. It wasn't until 1915 that the department purchased their first motorizedladder truck.[4] At this time the Anaheim City Council authorized the employment of two full-time firemen. These two men worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and lived at the Anaheim Fire Station.
Volunteers continued to provide fire services until 1960, when the number of annual calls reached nearly a thousand and it was felt that the Department should be made up of professionally trained fire personnel.[3]
Anaheim Fire & Rescue is part of the Metro Cities Fire Authority which provides emergency communications for multiple departments in and aroundOrange County.[5] The call center, known as Metro Net Fire Dispatch, is located inAnaheim and provides9-1-1 fire andEMSdispatch to over 1.2 million residents, covering an area of 200 square miles (520 km2). Other departments included in Metro Net includeBrea Fire Department,Fountain Valley,Fullerton Fire Department,Huntington Beach Fire Department,Newport Beach Fire Department, andOrange Fire Department.[5]
Anaheim Fire & Rescue is divided into two battalions; Battalion 1 consisting of sixfire stations, and Battalion 2 with five stations.[2]All engines and trucks are full paramedic units, capable of providing advanced life support (ALS) treatment. All ambulances are basic life support (BLS). Engine 12 is temporarily located at station 10; however, in 2025, the city broke ground on a new fire station (station 12) in the Platinum Triangle area, in the parking lot of Angel Stadium. When the new station is complete, Engine 12 will move in.
