The Bellevue Fire Department has nine fire stations staffed 24 hours a day, with a minimum of 48 fire suppression personnel on at all time. All Bellevue Firefighters are also Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). In addition there are 8 Firefighter/Paramedics (EMT-P) on duty.

Seven of our stations staff a three person engine company capable of responding to all fire and medical emergencies.

Two stations have ladder companies, consisting of four firefighters operating a 100’ aerial ladder truck and one firefighter following in an engine. These two units respond as one combined unit. 

The Bellevue Fire Department also staffs three Aid Cars (basic life support transport vehicles) and four Medic Units (advanced life support transport vehicles).

Operations are overseen by the Battalion Chief, providing administrative support as well as command and control at major incidents; and the Medical Service Officer (MSO) who oversees Paramedic and Emergency Medical Response.
