The Philadelphia Fire Department (PFD), provides fire protection and Emergency Medical Services(EMS) to the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The Philadelphia Fire Department is one of the oldest established fire departments in the United States and traces its origins back to early volunteer companies, specifically the Union Fire Company, established on December 7, 1736. After 134 years, the City Council decided the growing city needed a professional, organized fire department and passed an ordinance in December 1870, creating the paid fire department.[1] In 2011, the Philadelphia Fire Department responded to 277,635 emergency calls, with 47,926 being fire and rescue-related and 229,704 being emergency medical-related.[2][3]

The Philadelphia Fire Department is the largest fire department in the state of Pennsylvania and, like many large city fire departments throughout the country, also provides emergency medical services to the city. The PFD currently has one of the busiest fire department EMS Division in the United States, responding to over 229,709 medical-related runs in 2011 alone. Also, the Philadelphia Fire Department has historically operated some of the busiest ambulances in the country. In 2005, one department Medic Ambulance, Medic 22, responded to over 9,500 medical-related emergency calls.[4]

Box are all working at a fire, the All-Hands Assignment is requested, bringing an additional Ladder Company to serve as the Rapid Intervention Team(R.I.T.), a Squad Company(1 of 2 in the PFD), the Rescue Company, and a Medic Unit.
