Fire departments are the branches of municipal governments that are called to put out fires or deal with other public safety concerns. People sometimes need to contact fire departments if they have a fire safety question or need to talk to a fire inspector. Many fire departments have several different fire stations and each has its own telephone number. In case of an emergency, do not contact a fire station, call 911. People and businesses sometimes need to contact a fire inspector to schedule a fire inspection. Some fire departments have special phone numbers to call if you have fire safety questions. Fire districts operate like fire departments but cover rural areas instead of urbanized areas and often fight forest fires and wild fires.
