The Bellevue Fire Department is dedicated to delivering a safe and effective response force to mitigate events requiring fire suppression, emergency medical and specialty technician-level response. This mitigation is best achieved by working with the community to provide, information, education, training, enforcement of codes and building engineering standards, economic incentives, and data-informed, focused outreach that prevents a situation from arising whenever possible.
