The Fire Department comprises six divisions: The Office of the Fire Chief, Fire Suppression, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Preparedness, Community Risk Reduction, and Telecommunications. Its resources include three fire stations, and nine front-line emergency apparatus comprised of three engine companies, one tiller operated ladder truck company, three ALS paramedic rescue ambulances, one civilian EMT-staffed BLS rescue ambulance and one battalion chief vehicle, working three 24-hour rotating shifts.

==History==
The Culver City Fire Department was formed in 1919 as the Culver City Volunteer Fire Department, and on October 6, 1922 was organized into a paid / call department. On May 10, 1927, the City passed a Special Bond Election to build a Civic Center which housed both a Fire and Police station at 3912 Van Buren Place. The bond funds were also used to pay for 13 on-duty men and to build a second fire station on McConnell Boulevard. Culver City’s third fire station opened on August 11, 1956, at 11304 Segrell Way & Berryman Avenue. A new training tower facility at 9075 Jefferson Boulevard was dedicated in 1970, replacing the original training center from the fifties. The facility, which is still in use today, has a four-story tower, surfaced yard, drafting pit, hydrants, and roof props. The Culver City Fire Department has maintained an ISO Class 1 rating since February 1995. They are one of five Class 1 agencies in LA County.
