Always call 911 if there’s an emergency. Facebook and other WFD social media sites are not monitored 24/7 and are not designed to handle requests for assistance. The Wichita Fire Department was organized in 1886 when Wichita outgrew the volunteer fire companies which had protected the City since 1872. Today, the Wichita Fire Department has evolved from its original purpose of fighting fires to its

current task of providing a much broader level of emergency services to the public. Over the years, this expanded role along with a variety of community risk reduction activities and initiatives has allowed the Department to demonstrate exceptional community value. The Wichita Fire Department serves a resident population of over 366,000 people. In addition to the City of Wichita, the Wichita Fire Department also provides emergency responses throughout the metropolitan area through automatic and mutual aid agreements with surrounding jurisdictions.

WFD joined forces with other local agencies and volunteers to give back to the community on this rainy Thursday.

"From landscaping and painting to organizing supplies and completing much-needed facility improvements, these volunteers gave their time and talents to strengthen the charitable organizations that serve our neighbors every day."

Every day, Wichita firefighters answer the call to help those in need. Today, we're answering a different kind of call. Your Wichita Fire Department is proud to join Blood Cancer United and participate in the Battle of the Badges, a friendly fundraising competition that brings first responders together to support individuals and families facing blood cancer.

Cancer impacts every community. It affects our friends, neighbors, family members, and sometimes even our own brothers and sisters in public safety. That's why we're stepping up to help raise funds for research, patient support programs, and resources that give hope to those in the fight of their lives.

Who's ready to answer the call?

Join the Battle of the Badges and help us prove that when first responders come together, we can make a real difference. Together, we serve. Together, we save lives.

Feel free to donate to the department you want to support:

The Wichita Fire Department has entered the Battle of the Badges - for Blood Cancer United - Kansas. We're challenging every Fire Department, EMS agency, and Law Enforcement agency in Kansas to join us in raising money to fight blood cancer.
