The City of Henderson Fire Department is one of the few fire departments in the nation accredited by two agencies: Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) and Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI).

One of our largest undertakings is a Performance Budget to be used as a guide in anticipating needs. The Performance Budget is intended to bring focus to the department's services, programs, and issues. It serves as an evaluation of the department's mission and as a budgeting guide and action plan guide for goals we plan to complete this year and in the future. The Performance Budget will be evaluated, revised, and updated each year for any priority changes, budgetary restraints, and planning refinements that may occur. The Performance Budget is designed to continually explore new ways to improve our services.
