Beatrice Fire & Rescue is a full-time fire and advanced life-support ambulance service. They work 24 hour shifts with three shifts. Each shift consists of a Captain, and six firefighters. Administratively we have a chief and administrative assistant. All BFR personnel are Paramedics or EMTs. We operate out of one fire/EMS station in downtown Beatrice where we house five ALS ambulances, two pumper
s, a 100โ platform ladder truck, a rescue truck, Haz-Mat response vehicle, Haz-Mat trailer, and an air-supply trailer. We also house Beatrice Rural Fire Departments pumper, tanker, and mini-pumper. Besides providing fire protection, fire prevention, public education and a county-wide advanced life support service, we are a regional Haz-Mat response team deployable anywhere in the state of Nebraska.
