It is the mission of the Janesville Fire Department to hold the needs of those we serve in the highest regard.

The Janesville Fire Department strives to be a model of excellence in public safety, where the mental and physical well-being of our employees is a core priority. By investing in comprehensive training, 
strong organizational support, and state-of-the-art equipment, we empower our personnel to perform at the highest levels. This commitment fosters a resilient workforce capable of building meaningful relationships with the community and delivering exceptional service in every situation.

The Fire Department answers an estimated 3,000 emergency responses for engine alarms and an estimated 8,400 paramedic calls.

All five fire stations have paramedic ambulances, each staffed by two licensed paramedics who respond to both emergency medical and fire alarms. Personnel are also cross-trained to provide Dive Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, Hazardous Materials Response, Technical Rescue, Tactical Emergency Medical Services, Drone Operations, and Child Safety Seat inspections. In addition, the Janesville Fire Department will conduct approximately 5,000 annual fire inspections along with an estimated 1,000 hours of public education instruction.

The Fire Department responds to emergency alarms (24 hours a day) out of five fire stations, staffed by personnel divided among three shifts. A minimum of 26 firefighters and emergency medical personnel are always on duty. The remaining seven personnel are assigned to administrative roles.
