Burleson Fire Department

Burleson Fire / EMS is the City of Burleson's career, all-hazards fire department. Casey Davis has served as fire chief since 2024. The city reports 78 career firefighters operating from three continuously staffed stations on a 48-hours-on, 96-hours-off shift schedule. The department's published workload is approximately 9,200 calls per year.

Core services include structural and vegetation-fire suppression, MICU-level emergency medical response and ambulance transport, fire prevention, training, emergency management, and community risk reduction. Special-operations personnel train for confined-space rescue, swift-water rescue, urban search and rescue, high- and low-angle rescue, and structural-collapse incidents.

The city holds an ISO Class 1 Public Protection Classification. Burleson publishes a fleet of front-line and reserve engines, aerials, four ambulances, two brush trucks, and a heavy-rescue apparatus. A voter-authorized fourth station remains in the capital program, with $15.943 million shown in the city's adopted FY2026 five-year capital plan.

Burleson Fire / EMS uses the Project 25 North Texas Interoperable Radio Network, primarily through the Johnson County simulcast layer. The published department category includes dispatch, four tactical channels, Fire Marshal and special-event talkgroups, and two emergency-operations-center channels.

Burleson's ISO information confirms mutual-aid agreements with multiple area fire agencies. The city specifically documents an automatic/mutual-aid arrangement with Fort Worth Fire Station 42 at Spinks Airport for reported structure fires in the southern area formerly covered by Station 2. Burleson also appears in Tarrant County Emergency Services District No. 1 budget records as a contracted mutual-aid department.

Specialized assistance is requested when incident complexity exceeds local resources. During a January 2025 cell-tower emergency, Burleson requested the Fort Worth Fire Department Technical Rescue Team to assist with a 150-foot high-angle rescue. Exact countywide alarm packages, move-up plans, and all automatic-aid boundaries are not published.
