Port Orange Fire & Rescue

Port Orange Fire & Rescue is a fully career department (no volunteer component) headquartered at 1090 City Center Boulevard in Port Orange, Florida, operating under the tagline "Growing in Beauty and Opportunity." The department is organized into four divisions — Operations, Training, Fire Safety & Inspections, and Emergency Medical Services — each led by a division chief reporting to the Fire Chief.

The city has achieved a Class 3 ISO/PPC fire protection rating, and the department cross-staffs its engines to answer medical emergencies alongside fires, since nearly 80% of its call volume is medical aid rather than fire suppression. Beyond emergency response, the department runs community-facing programs including free smoke detector installation for seniors and residents in need, blood pressure checks at fire stations, station tours for the public, fire-safety education in schools, and hurricane-preparedness outreach.

The department markets itself to prospective hires on the strength of Port Orange's ranking as one of Florida's safest cities in its population class, its proximity to Daytona Beach, Daytona International Speedway, and Orlando, and specialized assignment opportunities such as its Tactical Response Team (TRT) and drone operations program. Applications are processed through the City of Port Orange's governmentjobs.com career portal.
