About Fire Department Directory

FireDepartmentDirectory.com is a free service for fire departments to share information with the community they serve. This service was started in late 2009 with an original database of about 24,000 fire departments located throughout the United States. Since then, over 1,000 fire departments administrators have signed up to add or update their fire department's profile with contact information, photos, logos, fire equipment profiles, firefighter profiles, and more. Fire department administrators continue to add or update fire dept information every day.

If you are a fire department administrator and would like to create a profile, visit the “Create an Account” link located on the top right of any page. You will first be asked to enter your personal contact information and accept our privacy policy / terms of service. Your personal contact information will be kept private and only be used for account administration purposes (see the privacy policy). You will see an input wizard to help you through the process of creating an account. Only 3 steps are required (Contact info, Fire Chief's Name, & Volunteer Recruitment info), but the more information you add, the more useful your fire department profile will be for community members (including potential volunteers).

As you fill out your new profile, please be thorough. The better and more complete the information you add, the more traffic will be sent to your profile from search engines. This includes photos, fire equipment, firefighters, mission statement, etc.  It will take a couple of weeks for search engines to index your profile.  But once they do, your new profile will help yoru fire department connect with more community members.  Each time a community member searches for your fire department name, your fire equipment, or searches for a firefighter at your department, your profile will very likely show up on top of page one search results for many of these searches. When a visitor then opens the profile you created (with photos and information about your fire department) you have the chance to recruit a new volunteer, show a community member the positive ways their tax dollars are being spent, or really impress some local kids.

Profile Approval:

Every profile is evaluated before it is made public. This may take up to a week, but accounts are usually reviewed within 1-2 days. If there is a problem with your account, we will make an attempt to contact you with the personal contact information email or phone you provided. If your account has not been approved, the most common error is that the required information is not completed or that you entered the wrong information in the wrong field. With such a large system, we need to insure we have consistent information in the correct location.
