Protecting the Citizens of Racine since January 22, 1843

180 Years of Continuous Service

The City of Racine Fire Department is a dedicated team of fire service professionals and we are proud to serve the citizens of Racine. Through teamwork, training, and communications we provide fire protection services, fire prevention and inspection services, basic and advanced life support services, and public education services. We are a high quality, cost effective service provider to our citizens. 

The City of Racine Fire Department is a value driven, rather than a rule driven department. Based on that model we ask our members to:  

• Make a commitment to the organization  
• Be responsible to ourselves and to each other 
• Be disciplined in everything we do 
• Model good supervisory practices 
• Be responsible leaders 
• Maintain a safe working environment 
• Establish roles and expectations for others to follow. 
  
  

The core values that guide our every action include teamwork, safety, and citizen satisfaction.

Racine Community Foundation donates funds to Racine Fire Dept. For Specialized Equipment Trailer

Recently, the  Racine Community Foundation (RCF) graciously provided financial support to the Racine Fire Department (RFD) for the purchase of a Specialized Equipment Trailer.
This Specialized Equipment Trailer will improve operational efficiency and contribute to our mission of protecting and serving the citizens of Racine. As an all hazards response agency and regional hazardous materials team, the RFD remains committed to being a resource that can also serve our neighbors in Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth Counties in times of need.

We extend our deep and sincere appreciation to the Racine Community Foundation for their support of this important initiative. RFD contact for this project is Battalion Chief of Special Operations Mike DeGarmo.
