The Orange County Fire Rescue Department provides fire protection and emergency medical services to Orange County, Florida. All told the department is responsible for 780 square miles (2,000 km2) with a population of 753,748 residents.
Prior to 1981, there were 14 fire control districts serving Orange County and each district had a fire board with elected Fire Commissioners overseeing Fire Operations. In 1981 the decision was made to abolish these individual districts and consolidate all services under one Fire Department to serve unincorporated Orange County under the authority of the Board of County Commissioners.
