The mission of the organization continues to revolve around the principle of service to community. A casual glance at the emergency response and fire loss statistics of the department provides strong support for the high level of confidence that local residents place in their fire department. The City of Ashland receives prompt and efficient emergency fire and medical services from two fire station sites, strategically located within the city. In addition to the provision of emergency services to the citizens of Ashland, the department maintains a strong reciprocal response agreement with surrounding agencies.

We are the providers for Ambulance Service area 3, covering 650 square miles. We provide initial structure fire response within the 10 square miles of Ashland city limits. Our wildfire response area is local, regional, and state level.
