Fire departments are usually part of a city's municipal government. Fire departments are in charge of handling a city's fire fighting duties. Fire departments also respond to emergencies other than fires. In case of a fire or other emergency, call 911. A fire inspection of a home or building can be scheduled by calling a fire department and asking for a fire inspector. Many fire departments employ a fire inspector or several fire inspectors. Some fire departments have special phone lines to answer fire safety questions. Many fire departments have several fire stations and each has its own telephone number. Fire districts are much like fire departments only they are charged with handling emergencies in rural areas rather than in urbanized areas.
