Since 1937, Billings Fire Fighters have been protecting the citizens in the Yellowstone Valley from Fires, Medical Emergencies and other unforeseen Hazards. Additionally we represent over 100 uniformed firefighters that work for the City of Billings.

As Billings Fire Fighters, we serve our citizens based on our core values. Honesty, integrity, compassion. These are our guiding principals. We face daily emergencies that require us to be quick problem solvers to make your worse day, a little bit better.

Just another typical day” does not fit in our narrative. Everyday brings new challenges and new encounters. We train everyday to prepare for when the“What ifs” turn into reality. Not just limited to fires and medical emergencies, our training prepares us for Hazardous Materials and Specialty rescues. With Billings unique landscapes it is not uncommon for us to perform Rim as well as River rescues.

Good Stop

I live in Laurel and had a fire 1/6/21. Luckily my garage was detached and my home was spared. Thank you fire for what you do!! I will always be grateful for LVFD for their quick response!! 🔥👩🏻‍🚒❤️

Thank you BFD!!

Once again the BFD does an outstanding job short handed. When will they learn you need 4 brothers on the apparatus all the time.

Thank you BFD for your service to this community! Always happy to hear there are no injuries.

Be advised, high wind = high call volume.

Many units will be responding to power lines down, arcing in trees, building alarms, among others.

Use caution as there will be increased emergency traffic as well as possible delayed service to lower priority calls.

A little visit to the "North Pole" down on Stone street. This year's display was dedicated to first responders so we had to take a trip. We're all asking Santa for everyone's holiday to be merry. Stay safe Billings! Here is to a better 2021 #merrychristmas🎄 #2020isalmostover
We care for many vulnerable individuals and we can help lead the way by simply protecting ourselves. #maskup #vaccinate and #washyodanghands
Slick roads and cold conditions are always in our head this time of year. Firefighters extinguished a garage fire this morning before it was able to destroy the duplex. Please remember seconds count and when you see us coming with our lights and sirens, pull to the right so we can do what we do.

⚠️⚠️⚠️We've worked with both of these men. We also know how poorly people pay attention in accident scenes. This senseless act should serve as a reminder to everyone to slow down and move over. It's also advisable to not film scenes in your phone as you drive through.⚠️⚠️⚠️ Our condolences to both families.😥 https://www.facebook.com/783093942028064/posts/1301479276856192/?sfnsn=mo
October is fire prevention month, the Billings fire department has put up a beautiful bunch of videos to help you learn how to stay safe. Unfortunately we are still not opening our fire stations to visitors, but with the magic of the internet we can come to you. Please check out Billings Fire Department on YouTube for videos and check out the Billings Fire Department website for more detailed lesson plans for educators.

@nws #billings is always active on Twitter... Always great info. Hot and dry tomorrow!
Holy cow! Wasn't even paying attention. 10,000! Sweet!
This is what happens when you stop too fast in a fire truck. JK... Saturdays are rig days. Clean and inventory, top to bottom. Most fire trucks have their motor under the cab so the cab raises to access the motor. 🚒Follow #yourbillingsFFs to stay up to date with what we're doing. . 👨‍🚒Facebook - billings.firefighters. 📸Instagram- billingsfirefighters . 🐦Twitter - local521. . #iaff #mag7 #mtproff #billingsmt #billings #firefighters #rigday

Billings Firefighters Endorses Tim Fox for Governor. Fox has stood with firefighters in the past and firefighters will stand with those that have supported us. We have tried numerous times to meet with Greg Gianforte and he will not meet with us. Greg Gianforte is out of touch with our values and we believe Tim Fox is the best person to sit at the helm of Montana. #mtpol

While we're all in this social shutdown, we're still needing food. Thank you to all our local restaurants that are able to go the take out route. Tonight we hit the 406 Kitchen & Taproom for dinner. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay home.
👩‍🚒The Fire Department has closed all stations to the public, as well as closed off all outside travel. We are still 100% operational and ready to respond to all calls. Please note in the press release from the city administrators desk that city operations have changed. Operationally, we ask that if you call 911, please let the dispatcher know if you are experiencing any flu like symptoms so we can make sure our firefighters and paramedics are able to use the proper protective equipment. Thank you. Remember, Be kind, Be safe, and use good information.
Blood donors are needed amidst this covid19 shutdown. If you are healthy and willing, the need has not stopped. We still encourage social distancing, however, vital services still need to continue. I donated for the first time today, super easy and staff are there are being very vigilant with their decontamination procedures. @vitalantorg #dontateblood #VitalantBloodCenter #vitalantmt
The need is now. If you are able, the blood supply in the area is getting low. #Blood #DonateBlood #VitalantBloodCenter #BloodDonationsSaveLives #MontanaNews #BillingsMontana #YellowstoneCounty
In the interest of following the CDC recommendations, the parade will not be. Not unexpected, but bummer.
We would like to remind people that good flu and cold prevention is also great for #COVID19 Please remember that this is not something to panic about, however we still need to remember basic hygiene. If you have any questions, your Billings Firefighters will be happy to answer them. We have been working closely with Firefighters from the Washington State area, Riverstone Unified Health Command, AMR, and many other agencies. We are well versed in what needs to be done to protect our community. You can message directly or ask in the comments. Share this poster to help reduce all forms of infectious disease. #mag7 @iaff_7th_district
Dear Billings, We would like to thank you for your amazing support. Our team raised over $13,000 dollars with your help. Unfortunately, due to the Novel Corona Virus the climb sponsors decided that the best course of action was to postpone the climb. Exposing 2000+ firefighters to an relatively unknown virus and allowing them to pass it to their communities would be a bad idea. As of now we do not know when the event will happen. The good news is the money raised is still going to a good cause and all that fundraising will still benefit those that the LLS helps. Follow us on our social media pages, when the new date is announced, you can bet our firefighters will be attending.
Come and see us at the parade! St Patrick's Day parade will be March 14th. There is a new parade route this year so check the parade route website!

Combustibles on the stove is the cause of a fire that forced occupants of four apartments to evacuate early Friday morning. Firefighters arrived just after 4:00 a.m. as the fire spread in the kitchen of unit one. Deputy Fire Marshal Andrew McLein says the stove had been left on in the kitchen. The fire resulted in heavy fire damage to the kitchen and heavy smoke damage throughout the unit. The estimated cause of damage to the unit is around $60,000. @kulr8 with coverage. 🚒Follow #yourbillingsFFs to stay up to date with what we're doing. . 👨‍🚒Facebook - billings.firefighters. 📸Instagram- billingsfirefighters . 🐦Twitter - local521. . #iaff #mag7 #mtproff #billingsmt #billings #firefighters
