Everything you need to succeed

There’s no getting around it: firefighting is risky business. That’s why we equip our employees with the best tools and training, including national conferences, specialty rescue classes and live fire exercises.

Allen firefighters enjoy top-of-the-line gear, including integrated thermal imaging equipment in every mask. Our fleet of vehicles is best in class and all five of our stations are beautifully updated and well-maintained.

We also look for ways to help firefighters connect their work and home lives, from hosting family-friendly department activities to encouraging station visits from spouses and kids.
