The '''Pensacola Fire Department''' is the fire department for the [[City of Pensacola]]. The current Fire Chief is [[David Allen]].

The department maintains six fire stations and is comprised of six engine companies, two ladder companies, three rescue companies and two Aircraft Rescue Firefighting units.

==History==
===Volunteer era===
Fire service in Pensacola dates back to [[1810]], when Spanish officials imported two fire engines, fifty leather buckets, hoses and nozzles from a British firm.  A formal volunteer firefighting brigade was formed in [[1821]] when Florida was transferred to the United States.

====Germania Fire Company====
The '''Germania Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company''' was formed in [[1870]] and was headquarted at [[17 East Zaragoza Street]].  In [[1888]], the Germania Company merged with two other fire companies to form the '''Fire Association of Pensacola''', a city-run volunteer association.

===Formation of paid department===
Volunteers continued to be the only means of fire protection until [[January 1]], [[1898]], when the city established a full-time department of paid firefighters under Chief [[John Baker]].
