The headquarters, located near the intersection of Madison and Warren avenues, is where all the business of the fire department takes place. It's also where the office of the fire chief is located. "To protect and safeguard life and property from fire or hazardous conditions: to provide emergency medical treatment to those in need." That's the mission statement, through a fire and medical rescue delivery system consisting of fire prevention, fire safety education, fire and medical rescue operations and hazard abatement.
