Atlantic City Fire Department
The Atlantic City Fire Department is the first established fire department on Absecon Island and enjoys a long tradition as a leader in South Jersey, particularly in Atlantic County, for being at the forefront in the implementation and use of the latest equipment and firefighting techniques available. This tradition will continue as our Training and Special Operation Divisions adjust and adapt new techniques to address the ever-changing physical landscape that is Atlantic City.
It has always been the fire department's philosophy (mission) to be a neighbor in the community we serve. In an ongoing effort to remain a part of the community the ACFD performs many community services. These services in Operation Safe Place for at risk children, Public Education Seminars, Free Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detector Program, and various charitable fund raisers just to name a few.
The ACFD is committed to providing the highest standard of service and safety to the residents of and visitors to the City of Atlantic City. If you have any questions and/or suggestions, please feel free to contact the Fire Chief’s office directly or any of the divisions as listed on the site.
