    Greetings from Abilene, a city located near the center of the great State of Texas!

The Abilene Fire Department was officially organized in 1886 by a handful of residents who wished to address Abilene's fire protection needs. It served as a city service as well as a social club creating a "family" made up of firefighters, children, wives, and other citizens. Today, our department is staffed by 171 civil service and 5 support personnel. The department has changed a lot over the years, but we still have a family relationship among our members that still work very hard to serve the 114,454 people living within Abilene's 110.7 square miles.

 

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments. Thank you for visiting Your Abilene Fire Department on the Internet. This site is updated weekly, so please visit us often for new information and news about Your Abilene Fire Department.
