Letter From The Chief
Welcome to the City of Leander Fire Department Website!
The Leander Fire Department web page is one of the ways we hope to reach out to you and allow you to share with us. Our organization is in place to provide our customers with excellent safety services. Some of those services include extinguishing fires, providing emergency medical first response, rescue services, educating the community on fire prevention and safety issues, disaster preparedness and hazard mitigation. In addition to the traditional service the department believes the prevention of any emergency or loss is one of our responsibilities and strives for this through our community involvement, codes, and ordinances pertaining to safety.
As the Fire Chief it is a great privilege to lead the men and women of this department. The staff is made up of 28 career firefighters, 34 volunteer firefighters, and 6 associate program volunteers and one administrative support member.
Every day the department strives to meet our mission: “Saving Lives and Property with Commitment and Excellence”, this mission is met by working on solving the needs of both our internal and external customers.
The Leander Fire Department is a unique organization that sets its own path by applying current science and reflecting on historical events. By doing this we are creating an organization respectful of the fire service traditions without being hampered by the fear of change. The strength of the organization is reinforced by the partnerships with the Leander Professional Firefighters Association and Leander Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.
Take some time to look around our website to see the faces, stations, and equipment of this great department, your department.
Thank you for stopping by and feel free to contact us with your questions, comments, and compliments.
Bill Gardner
Fire Chief
