The Henderson Fire Department is a multiple accredited, ISO Class 1, award winning fire department, which has been a leader in the industry for years.

However, we are now struggling to maintain our performance benchmarks as people continue to migrate to our great city and as our current residents age in place. Calls for service are increasing causing delayed response times. We must hire additional firefighters and increase our resources because every second counts, and these actions will save lives. Our aging fire station facilities in the core of the city are in serious need of renovation or replacement. In addition, we are trying to replace our worn-out fleet of emergency response vehicles. Our Fire Chief is doing his best to absorb double digit cost increases in every aspect of our organization, but we need more financial resources to serve our community.  Every second counts on a 911 call and those precious seconds could save your life or that of a loved one.
