 Buhl Fire Department Profile:
The Buhl Fire Department is managed through a Joint Management Agreement between the City of Buhl and the Buhl Rural Fire Protection District.

​Currently, the department consists of a  Full-Time  Fire Chief, a District Clerk, and six shift Firefighter/EMTs, along with 30 Paid Call/Stipend Volunteers. The department provides a full range of services, including fire suppression, extrication, emergency medical services, fire code enforcement, hazardous material response, and Public Station Tours/Fire Prevention Education.

The Buhl Fire Department responds out of two stations. City of Buhl Station  1 is located at 205 N Broadway, and Buhl Rural Fire Protection District Station 2 is at 19266 US HWY. 30.

In 2021, the Buhl Fire Department responded to 1437 calls for service. These calls include service, fire, extrication, HazMat, and EMS/Rescue calls. This averages out to 3.9 calls for emergency services response per day.

The population served is roughly 10,000  citizens. The response area, including the City of Buhl, is 101 square miles. Much of this response area includes the Snake River, Highway 46, and the busy scenic byway US State Highway 30 corridor.
