Fire Stations in Orange County, Florida

Orange County is one of Central Florida's most populated counties, featuring the cities of Orlando and Lake Buena Vista, which is home to the Walt Disney World Resort. Its fire stations are organized by battalion, each containing seven individual stations. The battalions are strategically placed throughout the county to cover select suburbs of Orlando. Some battalions overlap the more heavily populated areas of the city, which tend to lie on both sides of Interstate 4.

  1. Battalion 1

    • Battalion 1 is on the northwest side of Orlando, near Lake Apopka. It includes fire stations 20, 27, 28, 29, 40, 41 and 42. Fire station 20 is in the town of Zellwood. Stations 27, 28 and 29 are all within the city of Apopka. Forty, 41 and 42 are considered to be within the city limits of Orlando, but they are on the far north side that borders up against suburbs such as Altamonte Springs and Maitland.
