FAQs

Do I need a permit for a recreational fire?

No permit is required for a recreational fire.
Do I notify anyone if I’m having a recreational fire?

No; however, it is in your best interests to notify your neighbors that you’re having a fire. Sometimes the Fire Department receives calls from neighbors unaware of the recreational fire.
How often should I check my smoke detector?

Check it monthly and replace batteries every time you change your clock for daylight savings time.

NOTE: The Chanhassen Fire Department does not change or install smoke alarms in residential homes. Homeowners should use the guides provided to install smoke alarms in their homes or hire a professional. Most electricians or handyman-type businesses offer this type of service.

Overview

The Chanhassen Fire Department is comprised of 27 paid-on-call firefighters, a full-time fire chief, a full-time assistant chief/fire marshal, three full-time captains, two full-time firefighters, a firefighter/inspector, and a code enforcement specialist/firefighter. A volunteer fire department chaplain also serves the members and community when needed.

The Fire Chief reports to the City Manager and is responsible for Emergency Management for the community. The Fire Chief manages the department using three paid-on-call Battalion Chiefs.

All calls are handled by one fire station within Chanhassen. Our equipment includes three engine companies, one 100 foot platform ladder, and various smaller rescue and grass fire units. The fire department utilizes mutual aid agreements from surrounding communities on calls that demand more resources than are available within the city.

The Chanhassen Fire Department strives to provide its businesses and residents with the finest fire and rescue services. Please tell us about your experience with Chanhassen Fire at Citizen Evaluation Form.

Station

Chanhassen Fire Station

7610 Laredo Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317

This station's construction was completed in 1967, just a year after the department was formed. The original building had two truck bays and also served as the Village Hall. A hose tower was added in 1981. A major remodeling project in 1989 added two more truck bays, an expanded office area, lower level training room, and an exercise room. It houses the department's primary response apparatuses.
