Brief History of DBFD:
The Daytona Beach Fire Department (DBFD) was first formed after a big fire in 1898. A group of influential citizens in the community came together and formed a department of volunteers only to fight fires. The city purchased its first chemical fire engine in 1902. In 1909 the first paid fire chief was hired. By the end of that same year the department consisted of about 65 volunteers. 1909 was also the year that the first water system was installed. The Water Works and the tower on Magnolia Avenue were erected for this purpose. Since those early days, the Daytona Beach Fire Department has continued to improve on the water system since. In the beginning, the Light Plant Whistle served as the fire alarm. The amount of whistle blasts determined in which district the fire was. Later, a bell tower was placed near the fire station. Today, DBFD uses a central dispatch center at the Volusia County Sheriff's Department that receives the call from the 9-1-1 caller. Dispatchers then notify the proper crews through a special line at the fire station.
EMS Services:
The EMS Division consists of seven advanced life support (ALS) fire engines and three rescue trucks staffed with licensed paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs). The training division ensures that these personnel are highly trained in:
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
Pre Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS)
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
Advanced invasive procedures courses
In addition to the coverage provided to the citizens and visitors of Daytona Beach, the EMS division provides EMS stand-by care at local football games, concerts and special events.
