Tallahassee Fire Department

TFD has 16 fire stations to serve and protect 702 square miles in Tallahassee/Leon County with a population of almost 300,000. The department has 313 certified firefighters, primarily in the Suppression Division, who respond to 36,000+ incidents every year. Certified individuals serve as command staff and there are 17 general employees who perform administrative services or support.^[3]

Each year, TFD typically responds to 400 structure fires, (residential & commercial), 200 vehicle fires, 900 brush/rubbish fires and 1100 vehicle rescues.^[4]

In September 2025, the Tallahassee City Commission terminated the contract to provide fire services to Leon County after a series of disagreements. The contract is scheduled to run through 2028, giving the county time to decide on an alternative fire services provider; the Interlocal Agreement requires the city to sell fire stations 10-14 back to the county including vehicles and equipment at a depreciated value.^[5]

As of 2026, the planned station on Lake Bradford Road has been significantly delayed, with discussion still ongoing.^[6]

The Tallahassee Fire Department operates a training facility on Municipal Way in the western part of the city, located on the long-closed Dale Mabry Army Airfield. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection performed a site reconnaissance and site assessment in June 2019. Lab results indicated high levels of PFOA and PFOS. In March 2020 the Florida Department of Health sampled nine potable wells around the training area and one was found to exceed Health Advisory Levels.^[7]

The TFD has 16 stations spread out across the city and split into 3 battalions.^[1]
