From all of us at the Victoria Fire Department, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our website and encourage you to browse through the site. 

Our mission is:  To Preserve Life and Property with a Dedicated and Caring Service. As you will see as you explore our website, we provide a variety of services to the community and are here for one reason – to help you.

Our firefighters have a passion for helping others and are extremely proud of their Fire Department. With their pride, comes ownership. An ownership that has been forged by a belief in core values such as Professionalism, Leadership, Accountability, Teamwork, and Employee Well-Being.

Whether you are a resident, business owner, or a visitor, our goal is to take care of you as if you were a member of our family, because you are!  I would like to offer an invitation for you to visit any of our firehouses and meet the best firefighters in the nation.

If I can be of any additional service to you, on behalf of the Victoria Fire Department, please contact me.

The Leader in Emergency Service Excellence!


Respectfully,
Taner Drake - Fire Chief
