The Rapid City Fire Department is a proactive organization staffed with 135 professional men and women dedicated to the delivery of service to the citizens and visitors of Rapid City, South Dakota. We proudly deliver this service through seven fire stations strategically located throughout the City. The Department primarily focuses its efforts on public education, fire prevention initiatives, preparedness and overall community risk reduction. Should these efforts fail, we are ready, prepared and trained to respond to a wide variety of calls for service. We do this with fire suppression resources, advanced life support transport services, a technical rescue team, a hazardous materials team, aircraft rescue and firefighting response and other services. We are proactive by being an "all risk reduction" as well as an "all risk response" department.
