Mission Statement: The Sturgeon Bay Fire Department’s mission is to protect life and property from fire, medical, and environmental emergencies for our community, through public education, code management, and incident response.

Staffing: The Fire Department operates out of two stations, one on the east side of Sturgeon Bay and one on the west side. The eastside station was built in 1908 and acts as the headquarters for the fire department, housing five fire trucks and an equipment trailer. The westside station, which was built in 1974, houses three fire trucks and a special response trailer. Each station is staffed with a minimum of two firefighters, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Services: Along with normal fire fighting duties the department provided emergency medical First Responder service to the city. The department responds to over five hundred emergency medical calls each year. The First Responders are trained in Automatic External Defibrillation and have had several successful saves along with the Door County Emergency Services Paramedics. The department provides for confined space rescue, cold water/ice rescue, automobile extrication, and carbon monoxide checks for residents. Approximately nine hundred runs are answered by the department annually.

Area served: The department contracts fire protection services for the Town of Sevastopol and the Town of Sturgeon Bay. The department covers approximately seventy square miles. The fire district runs fifteen miles north of the city and six miles south of the city. Approximately one hundred and twenty five runs are into these two towns annually.
