New Orleans Fire Department

The New Orleans Fire Department provides fire protection and first responder emergency medical services to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. The department serves 378,715 people living in a 350 square miles (910 km2) area, including 170 square miles (440 km2) of water.

Organized firefighting capability first arose in New Orleans as the Firemen's Charitable Association. Firefighting was handled by this volunteer body until the New Orleans Fire Department was created on December 15, 1891. Thomas O'Connor, who led the volunteers corps in its final days, stayed on to become the first chief of the newly-created department.

As of May 2015, below is a complete listing of all fire station and apparatus locations in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
