November 29, 1981, the Burnsville Fire Department was created with 23 career firefighters. On September 4, 1984, the department hired seven paramedics and started providing Advanced Life Support ambulance service to the community.
Today, 25 years later, the 41 member career department continues to be committed and dedicated to the preservation of life, safety, and protection of property. The department’s mission is to promote a professional fire service through a set of organizational values. These values are demonstrated in a strong and common belief of providing efficient and effective services of the highest quality - Protective Inspections, Fire Suppression, Emergency Medical Care, and Safety Awareness.
