On behalf of everyone at the Saraland Fire Rescue Department, let me welcome you to the Saraland Fire Rescue Department’s webpage. I am honored to lead this department and grateful for the opportunity to serve the citizens and visitors of our community. The Saraland Fire Rescue Department is a Non-Transport ALS Department comprised of 53 paid personnel, including firefighters and Paramedics. Saraland Fire Rescue is responsible for providing professional and efficient fire suppression, emergency preparedness, emergency medical services, fire prevention, and public education to the City of Saraland, its residents, and visitors. Our goal is to provide the highest level of service in the most efficient manner possible; to constantly protect and preserve life and property against the elements of fire and disaster through adequate preparation, training, and education; and to respond to all emergencies in a safe yet swift manner with sufficient resources to address the situation. Our personnel provide professional and high-quality service, responding to the community’s needs with skill and compassion. Thank you for allowing us to be your guardians of safety for our city.
Administration Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Public Safety Complex located at 716 Saraland Blvd.

The Saraland Fire Rescue Department is comprised of the following Divisions:

The members of the Operations Division work 24 hours on duty, then 48 hours off duty. If you see a fire apparatus, you see operations personnel.
Public Education Division
This division is responsible for the promotion of Life Safety Education to children and the elderly. The Saraland Fire Rescue Department has a comprehensive approach to Life Safety Education. We have personnel dedicated to educating our public about not only fire safety, but fall prevention for the elderly, hurricane preparation, and home safety inspections.
We have a mobile “smokehouse” that we take directly to children in order to teach them what to do if they are ever in a fire. This unit also allows us to teach children how to dial 911, kitchen safety and severe weather awareness. This program, started in 2002, would not have been possible without a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This grant allowed us to purchase the education trailer and a tow vehicle along with all of the needed materials to provide this service to the public. For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Jeff Berg at jberg@saraland.gov.
Fire Inspection Division
The Fire Inspector oversees the Fire Inspection Division. Responsible for the enforcement of fire codes, ordinances and planning. Also assists local builders with plans review to ensure building are built to code. For more information or to schedule a visit contact Chief Austin Sealey at ssealey@saraland.gov.
