The Houston Fire Department (HFD) was established in 1838 and became a professional department in 1895. It serves over 2.3 million residents across approximately 640 square miles, making it one of the largest municipal fire departments in the United States. With around 4,000 personnel operating out of 93 stations, HFD responds to more than 400,000 calls each year, the majority of which are medical emergencies. The department provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response, technical rescue, and airport firefighting. HFD holds a Class 1 ISO rating and is known for its operational scale, diverse workforce, and the challenges it faces in keeping up with high call volumes and a rapidly growing city.
Good ol HFD talk about a place who doesn’t care about member wellbeing. Or moving forward in progress of the fire service. Still uses triple layer. Uses heavy ass alcolite ladders. Just a few to name. Pay scales are made up can believe what they tell you. Many recruits don’t get what the job offer states. And when brought up told good luck. Burnout yeah the only thing they really promote here. Talk about mandatory overtime and not being able to go home. You’re a medic? Oh cool you’ll never see a apparatus.
