HOME/VEHICLE FIRE

Our crews put out a structure fire tonight on Branched Oak Rd. It was caused by a vehicle that caught fire in the garage, that then spread to the second floor of the home.

While all occupants were able to evacuate and no injuries were reported, the home is no longer habitable.

Please take time each month to practice exit drills with your family to safely escape in the event of an emergency.

Fire stations are awesome. We love them, and we know you do, too... but please, wait for them to be built and officially opened before dropping off your used medical needles! 💉😲 Besides the obvious issue of trespassing in an active construction site, we want to be sure your sharps receive the care in disposal they deserve.

For a list of currently open stations as well as links to safe disposal locations for medicines and fire extinguishers, please visit our website

On behalf of the St. Cloud Fire Rescue Department, we welcome you to the department's web site. Our goal is to provide our citizens and visitors with information that is useful and beneficial to you, our customers.

🪢🧗🏻 Emergencies can and do happen in precarious places. That’s why we frequently train in technical rescue scenarios.

Recently, SCFR crews worked through a ropes rescue scenario involving the safe retrieval of a patient stuck in a tree.

With hurricane season upon us, professional tree trimmers or even homeowners cleaning up damaged limbs may find themselves injured or stuck high up in the air.

Thanks to constant training like this, SCFR crews are prepared to respond to just about any situation.
