Raleigh Fire Department responds to a call. A ladder truck is sitting outside of an apartment building.

Raleigh Fire sends four engines, two ladders, the heavy rescue, two battalion chiefs, and the incident safety officer to all reported structure fires.

Check out New Edition of Raleigh Fire News!

Raleigh Fire News is a quarterly newsletter from the Raleigh Fire Department.

Our March 2024 edition of the Raleigh Fire News is now available!

Here’s a peek at its content:

  • Have you ever wondered what happens when a structure fire is reported to the Raleigh Fire Department? While each call is unique, the standard response to a structure fire call in the City of Raleigh involves the same steps. Learn what they are and what normally happens.
  • Working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death from home fires in half. On average, each year in Raleigh we have two fatalities from house fires. In some of the homes where people lost their lives smoke alarms were not present or they were not working. Learn how you can stay safe – and how RFD can help.
  • For this edition of Raleigh Fire News, Fire Chief Herbert Griffin answers the question: "What advice would you give everyone to endure the first 72 hours of any significant storm or natural disaster?”
  • See who at RFD recently retired or received a promotion – congratulations!
