Puerto Rico Firefighters Corps, Emergency service agency in San Juan, Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rico Firefighters Corps is an emergency response agency headquartered in San Juan that operates fire stations throughout the island. The organization combines professional firefighters with administrative and support staff to cover all areas.
The organization began in Ponce after a significant fire in 1820 and gradually expanded across the island. A major restructuring in 1942 established the framework that continues to guide operations today.
The Corps maintains memorials honoring fallen firefighters and conducts ceremonies recognizing the commitment of emergency service personnel throughout Puerto Rico.
This facility is an operational emergency service location and not typically open to casual visitors, though some stations may offer community programs. It is best to contact ahead if you wish to learn about their work or educational events.
The organization maintains specialized rescue units at two major airports on the island dedicated to aircraft emergencies. These divisions handle crash rescue and aviation safety to protect travelers and airport operations.
