Most of the full-time staff are certified to Hazardous Materials Technician Level, and many of our volunteers have obtained a certification of Hazardous Materials Operations Level. The El Dorado Fire department is responsible for responding to a wide range of hazardous materials calls, responding not only to emergencies within the City of El Dorado, but also within Butler County, Kansas.
All full-time personnel, as well as many of our volunteers, are state certified Emergency Medical Technicians. In an effort to provide the best possible service to the citizens of El Dorado, we respond in cooperation with Butler County EMS to a wide variety of medical emergencies.
The El Dorado Fire Department continues to look to the future to see what challenges lay ahead. With a focus on strategic planning, on-going training, and providing professional emergency services to the citizens of El Dorado, this department stands ready to meet the needs of its community.
