The City of Downey Fire Department is administered and operated by 90 dedicated individuals, whose collective efforts and spirit of cooperation combine to offer the City's 100,000 plus citizens and daily visitors a modern and comprehensive array of emergency services, resources and capabilities.

To maintain a proactive state of readiness for a myriad of emergencies that may occur within in or boundaries, the Downey Fire Department focuses its resource pool and training in six budgeted programs: administration, fire suppression, emergency medical response and basic life support, joint fire communications, fire prevention/arson, and emergency preparedness. Management structure within the organization includes the Fire Chief, Assistant Fire Chief, three Battalion Chiefs, 16 Captains, and a Deputy Fire Marshall/Haz Mat Specialist.

Through its four station, housing four Engines, 1 Truck, 2 ALS squads, 1 BLS squad and USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) vehicle, the Downey Fire Department responded to 7,868 emergencies in 1999. Total calls were comprised of 2,783 fire or hazardous condition-related incidents and 5,085 emergency medical responses. Department suppression and rescue training is facilitated by a centrally located, in-city training tower, as well as closed cable television network, which allows classes, meetings or training films to be broadcast into any fire station within the City.
