FIRE DEPARTMENT AT A GLANCE

Budget Summary

The City of Mansfield operates five Fire Stations across the City, with the potential for a sixth station as
the southern sector continues to grow. The Mansfield Fire Department includes five divisions.

Overall, the Fire Department budget increased 5.95% in FY 2023-2024. Personnel costs increased with
the addition of two full-time equivalent positions, to include a new Fire Inspector/Plans Examiner. The
other position, the Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator, had been approved in FY 2022-2023
but was budgeted outside of the Fire Department.

Operational costs increased 7.48% due primarily to vehicle maintenance and repair costs, as well as rising
costs for medications used during ambulance transport. The fee paid to the city’s ambulance billing
contractor also increased in FY 2023-2024 but is offset by ambulance revenue.
