Introduction

The Warner Robins Fire Department is committed to serving the community with the highest degree of professionalism for life safety and property conservation. We do this partly thorough fire prevention, fire safety education, fire suppression, emergency medical care, technical rescue, and hazardous materials response.

Over the last 49 years the Warner Robins Fire Department has a proud history of providing exceptional fire protection to the citizens of Warner Robins. We have grown from around 150-200 calls a year in 1959-1960 to 3750 in 2007. The department has seen technological advances over the years and now uses state of the art equipment such as thermal imaging cameras, automatic external defibrillators, and computers in the fire apparatus. The department has seen our apparatus change from men riding on the tailboards and only being able to supply 750 gallons of water per minute, to now having completely enclosed cabs and being able to supply 2000 gallons per minute out of a single truck. The protective clothing and uniforms our firefighters wear are considerably safer than ever before. But with all of the advances one thing has not changed. The dedication and hard work that the members put into the department to make it one of the premier departments in the state is still there.
