The Milwaukee Fire Department, established in 1846, is an integral part of the City of Milwaukee's emergency services. Led by Fire Chief Aaron D. Lipski, the department is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the city's nearly 600,000 residents. With a mission to protect life, property, and the environment, the department operates multiple firehouses strategically located throughout the city, providing firefighting, emergency medical services, and specialized teams to respond to various incidents.
Water, which plays a significant role in Milwaukee's history, identity, and economy, is at the heart of the city's firefighting capabilities. Situated on the shores of Lake Michigan and intersected by three rivers, Milwaukee's unique geography presents both challenges and opportunities for the fire department. Through their dedication, expertise, and adherence to standard operating guidelines, the Milwaukee Fire Department ensures the safety and well-being of the community they serve.
