Holland Fire Department Mission Statement

 

The Holland Fire Department is committed to fulfilling the fire suppression, rescue and emergency medical needs for the residents in the Town of Holland. HFD will, as rapidly and safely possible, respond to and mitigate all fires. If the incident is beyond the capabilities of HFD the on scene leadership will request the necessary qualified mutual aid resources. HFD personnel will train relentlessly in order to provide a professional and efficient service. In the event of a medical emergency HFD will respond, to the best of their ability, with the most appropriate level of pre-hospital care. If the appropriate level of care is not available HFD personnel will request an outside agency with the appropriate level of care. HFD will be active in the community in regards to fire prevention and education.
