Welcome to the official
website of Norfolk Fire-Rescue (NFR). This
site is intended to showcase the proud, rich history
of the NFR and serve as an easy reference guide for
the emergency and community services provided to the
citizens and visitors of Norfolk.
Today the NFR is comprised
of over 500 diverse, dedicated professionals who
protect a 66 square mile urban city with a
population of approximately 250,000, which
swells to over 350,000 during the workday.
The NFR responds to an average of 39,000
emergency incidents each year from 14
fire-rescue stations strategically located
throughout the city. The NFR also provides
a host of community and support services from
its Offices of Administrative Services, Public
Affairs, Fire Marshal, Occupational Safety and
Health, Training, and Special Operations.
In accordance with the department’s vision of
“preventing harm in the community and
maintaining the public’s trust,” I am always
interested in hearing from our customers about
their experiences with Norfolk Fire-Rescue.
Please feel free to send me your comments at

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Wise
Acting Fire Chief
