Spotsylvania County Fire/Rescue

The department is a combination career/volunteer system consisting of 240 career and approximately 250 active volunteer personnel operating out of 11 fire and rescue stations. Our outstanding men and women provide quality fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) service to a population of over 135,000 citizens, and last year, we responded to almost 19,000 incidents that required just over 33,000 responses. Spotsylvania County Fire/Rescue covers 414 sq miles.
