MFRD Releases 2023 Annual Report

Mobile Fire-Rescue Department released its 2023 annual report Thursday, March 21, 2024. The forty-page document features photos of the agency’s men and women in action and highlights of the department's divisions. It also documents many of the department's statistics for types of calls throughout the past year.

The total calls for service for Mobile Fire-Rescue Department increased slightly over the prior year with an increase in emergency medical services incidents and a small decrease in fire incidents.

Also in 2023, the department was awarded accredited status from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services and the Commission on Fire Accreditation International from the Center for Public Safety Excellence. The department continued to maintain the highest ISO 1 rating from the Insurance Services Office. Mobile Fire-Rescue Department became the ninth agency in the country to currently hold all three of those high distinctions.

The department continues its strong effort to be a valued part of the community with a vigilant eye toward protecting all citizens and visitors.

“The last accreditation I want is from our community. I want the public to know that they have the best fire department in the nation,” Fire Chief Johnny Morris Jr. said. “We’re public servants, we’re here to serve you.”
