The MCFRS Safety Section is responsible for the safety, health and welfare of the personnel in the Department. The Safety Chief is the Section Safety Officer and is responsible for the management and oversight of the safety management plan and program. Additionally the Safety Chief responds to fire, rescue and EMS incidents.

We believe that each person has the right to derive personal satisfaction from their position, and the prevention of occupational injury or illness is of such consequence to this belief that it will be given top priority at all times.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service will initiate and maintain complete accident prevention and safety training programs. Each individual from top management to firefighter/rescuer is responsible for the safety and health of those persons under their supervision and the personnel with whom they interact. By accepting mutual responsibility to operate safely, we will all contribute to the well being of everyone in our Organization.
