Inverness Fire Department

The Inverness Fire Department (IFD) is a combination of full and part-time paid professionals, supplemented by volunteers. All members are dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of the Inverness Community to include residents, business owners and visitors.

Department goals are to deliver highly trained personnel and resources when and where required. The staff seeks to serve as role models, responding to community needs, and providing timely service. You will find IFD members involved in many City events, activities and festivals.
