Department careers page ↗Fort Lee Army Fire & Emergency Services has protected the U.S. Army installation near Petersburg, Virginia since 1917, running mutual-aid partnerships with the surrounding Tri-Cities communities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights, and Hopewell. The department responds to structure fires, rescues, hazardous materials incidents, and medical emergencies, and delivers Advanced Life Support and EMS care alongside its suppression mission.
Beyond emergency response, the department runs an active fire prevention and public education program, including free monthly CPR/AED classes for the installation community and fire-prevention inspections and training on request. Technical rescue and hazardous materials response are supported through regional mutual-aid partnerships rather than a standalone in-house team.
Three fire stations cover the installation around the clock: Station 1 on Clark Avenue, Station 2 (headquarters) on Adams Avenue, and Station 3 on 33rd Street, each staffed with its own captain's office.
