A Welcome from the Chief Print E-mail

Welcome to the official web site of the Coppell Fire Department.  Our site contains valuable information about the department, our services, and our members.  I hope you will take the time to explore the different areas and links.

 

Established in 1958, the CFD started out as a group of dedicated volunteers.  Since then, the department has grown to its present day strength of 93 highly trained men and women who continue to serve the community with great care and passion.  Our primary focus is to protect lives and property.  In doing so, we pride ourselves on building a safe community through delivery of exceptional public services.

 

    
   

The CFD includes four divisions; Administration, Operations, Prevention, and Support Services.  Our facilities include three fire stations and one administration facility protecting 40,000 residents and the north Texas region.  All department members are certified firefighters, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and technical rescue specialists.  Additionally, the department provides a variety of community education programs that promote fire prevention and life safety initiatives.

 

In 2008, our department acquired an Insurance Services Office (ISO) Public Protection Classification Rating of 1, the best possible rating.  The CFD is one of only 51 departments in the United States that has achieved this prestigious rating.  To obtain an ISO Class 1 rating, the department maintains the highest standards, as well as having appropriate equipment, staffing, infrastructure, and communication facilities.

 

Our members remain the foundation of our great organization.  Their can-do-attitude and sense-of-community are displayed by every member, every day, and we are committed to continuing the traditions of providing a level of public service that is second to none.  To accomplish our mission, we need your support and understanding of our operations.  I hope that our web site contributes to building an even better and stronger partnership between us.  Please feel free to stop by any of our facilities or contact us at anytime.

 

 

Be Safe,

 


 

 

Kevin Richardson
Fire Chief
