Message from Chief Brooks

          The goal of Semmes Fire Rescue has always been to serve the citizens of Semmes with honor and respect through professionalism in everything we do. Training has always been a priority and we continue to provide our firefighters with the knowledge to do their job to the best of their ability. By offering Alabama Fire College classes and regional training to our firefighters to ensure they will have the skills to accomplish any task.
          Equipping our firefighters with new equipment and apparatus has also been a priority. The city of Semmes purchased a new engine in 2016 and two more in 2018 to bring most of our fleet into compliance with NFPA standards. The recent purchase and installation of a new mapping system and pre-emptive devices mounted on all front-line apparatus to control traffic lights at intersections is helping with our overall response times.
          Fire Inspections for all our businesses has improved tremendously and the recent resolution passed by the City Council to adopt the new 2018 International Fire Code will keep us in line with the State Fire Marshal’s office and provide a safe and secure environment for our business owners and their patrons.
          If anyone has any questions about what services or programs Semmes Fire Rescue provides for the community don’t hesitate to call me at the Semmes Public Safety Complex at (251) 283-7060.
         

Sincerely,
                   

 Fire Chief Kevin Brooks
