Mission

The Minnetonka Fire Department’s mission is to continuously protect and preserve life and property through quality education, prevention, disaster preparedness and rapid emergency response.

About the Department

The Minnetonka Fire Department is a combination fire department with full-time chiefs and administrative staff as well as full-time, career officers and firefighter technicians. We also maintain a staffing of paid-on-call firefighters that ranges from 50 to 70 members.

All our firefighters maintain firefighting, hazardous materials operation and medical certifications to respond to all manner of emergencies.

With our full-time and paid-on-call firefighters, our duty crew is staffed 24/7 at Station 1 and Station 3. When we are able, we also currently staff Station 2 during daytime hours. At this time, Stations 4 and 5 are not staffed during the day. All stations are also used for training and paid-on-call response when staff is paged out to respond to a structure fire or other major emergency.
