Harlem Fire Department has been providing fire protection services in the City of Harlem since 1948. The Department is continuing to grow and expand to better serve the needs of the residents in its territory.
Funding is provided through tax revenue in the city and subscriptions in the county.
Plans for the near future include the purchase of a new fire apparatus and expansion into Medical First Responder services. This would mean that the fire department will be utilized by EMS to provide initial medical care to citizens within the fire territory. Also in the near future, in-home fire inspections will be offered. In addition to emergency response, the Harlem Fire Department also offers fire safety education programs for schools, day care centers, churches, or any other requesting group or organization. For more information regarding services offered by the Harlem Fire Department, please contact the Harlem Fire Department at 556-0344.
