The Department is comprised of 38 dedicated, motivated and highly trained emergency services professionals, serving the citizens of the City of Batavia, New York and all those who work, visit or travel through our community.  We serve more than 15,000 residents and visitors and have done so for over 100 years.

Additionally, our members conduct fire prevention, public education and inspection activities.
