Clovis Fire Department

Rick Bennett, Fire Chief Welcome to the Clovis Fire Department web site. We are excited about the service we provide to our community and we want to share that enthusiasm with you.

Like most fire departments, we provide a range of services with our primary focus being the fire and life safety of our community. Proactively we do this with our Life Safety and Enforcement Bureau. We provide public education programs, work with contractors and developers to help plan a safe and effective community, conduct investigations into origin and cause of fires, work with juveniles and their families to determine potential of firesetting recidivisms, work to prevent and minimize effects related to weeds and similar abatement issues, and manage our emergency preparedness activity. Our Emergency Preparedness Manager facilitates a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) that is very active and involved in our community.

On the reactive side of the house, our Emergency Services Bureau manages four divisions: Operations, Training, Communications and Support Services. Our Technical Rescue Team is part of a regional response team. Our Hazardous Materials Response Team is currently going through the process to be listed as a Type I resource. Our response activity is typical of fire departments across the nation. We respond to fires of all kinds, medical aid requests due to illness or injury, technical rescue and hazardous material incidents. We also respond to any number of special calls for service to meet the needs of our community as well as responding to neighboring jurisdictions through auto aid agreements.

All of the men and women of the Clovis Fire Department are dedicated to providing a high level of quality service to the people we serve. Please take the time to view items of interest to you in our web site. It is designed to give you a sample of our activity and the passion with which we provide “Service with Pride” to our community.
