Covering over 360 square miles with a dedicated workforce of 1,049 employees, the department has become one of the most efficient and respected in America. Learn more.

In May 2024, the Fort Worth City Council approved the EMS Ad Hoc Committees recommendations, which include establishing an EMS system within the Fort Worth Fire Department. This will ensure that the EMS system for residents and visitors is financially sustainable, responsive, timely and focused on high-quality patient care. The transition has been structured to enhance services provided to Fort Worth and area residents. Since 1986, the Fort Worth Fire Department and MedStar have shared the common mission of providing the highest level of care that is in patients' best interests. The decision to integrate MedStar and Fort Worth Fire employees us one that comes after much consideration and collaboration. With the approval of this monumental transition, the City of Fort Worth, in partnership with 14 member cities, is committed to providing reliable and fiscally sustainable patient-centered services to residents. Transition is expected to be completed by July 1, 2025.
