The Campbell City Volunteer Fire Department was started in 1973 with approximately ten members and three trucks. The fist station was in Good Samaritan Village. During the latter part of the 1980's Campbell City Volunteer Fire Department moved their station and equipment to a small garage on Lime Street. |

The Present Campbell City Volunteer Fire Station on Broad Street was built in 1989. At that time Osceola County took over fire-rescue administration and we became a combination paid/volunteer system. Campbell City Volunteer Fire Department is one of 10 volunteer departments in Osceola County. | |
Campbell City Fire District includes residential as well as industrial and commercial properties. Our calls include not only house fires, but medical emergencies, auto accidents, brush fires, plane crashes, train accidents, industrial accidents and hazardous materials incidents. |

| If we modestly examine the values upon which this great nation was founded, we realize that the spirit of volunteerism has played a vital role in our foundation and growth. Today, as before, Volunteer are a key element in our community. The Campbell City Volunteer Fire Department relies exclusively upon the the time given freely by it's volunteers to serve our community's needs. We are constantly searching for dedicated men and women to join our ranks. |  |
