Walt Disney World has one of the most stringent fire codes in the U.S., which has served as a model for many states.  But, there are no fire stations in the country quite as playful as those of the Reedy Creek Fire Department.

With its giant fire hose fountain and massive fire hat canopy, RCFD’s Station #4 is a visual masterpiece, while Station #1 sports Dalmatian spots.  Look for the wonderful fire hydrant “sculpture garden.”

The Disney organization’s control of the Walt Disney World property has allowed them to enforce strict building codes and onsite protection system requirements.  This permits the nearly 200 staff members to focus on a comprehensive inspection schedule, code reviews, and a range of life and safety issues rather than the fire suppression activities of the typical fire department.  Walt Disney World has not sustained major fire loss of a building;  most fire calls are to vehicles in the parking lots.

They also have a particular expertise in the area of pyrotechnics; an important skill in a district where more than a half a million fireworks shells are fired each year.

The RCFD provides emergency medical services to both employees and guests of Walt Disney World.  Innovative Medical Assistance Response Carts, which are special golf carts fitted with medical equipment, are located at all theme parks and Downtown Disney, allowing personnel to respond quickly in emergency situations.
