The Department The City of Cleveland, Tennessee Fire Department is a progressive career fire department with 98 dedicated personnel (including four non-firefighting staff) and five stations.  Cleveland has a population of about 40,403 and encompasses 27 square miles.  However, the department also responds to all structure fires within the unincorporated urban fringe area of Bradley County which, by definition is an area located outside the city limits but within 5 road miles of a City of Cleveland fire station.  The total coverage area for the Cleveland Fire Department is 84.5 square miles with a population of 67,135.  The department provides protection to two high schools, two middle schools, 14 elementary and private schools, as well as four assisted-living facilities and three nursing homes.  The department was given an ISO classification of 3 for all City residents and a 4 for those in the urban fringe area in December of 2006. The City of Cleveland Fire Department responded to 3,546 calls for service in calendar year 2010.  This number is an almost 20% increase over 2009 and is due primarily to the fact that we began to offer medical first response service to our citizens.  Moreover, it is expected that rapid growth in the City, particularly commercial growth, will continue to place increased demands on the department and call volumes will continue to increase. The City of Cleveland has railways, two petroleum pipelines, Interstate 75, and U.S. Highway 11 that traverse the city limits. There are also several large industries in Cleveland and Bradley County such as Maytag, Duracell, Eaton Corporation, Arch Chemicals, and Olin Corporation that both manufacture and ship volatile chemicals such as chlorine and sulfuric acid.  The Cleveland Fire Department's response district also includes areas that are within the 10-mile fallout of the Sequoyah Nuclear power plant and the 20-mile fallout of the Watts Bar Nuclear plant. Even though our community is rapidly expanding, Cleveland has been able to maintain that “small town” atmosphere through various ways. Our local Chamber of Commerce aggressively promotes our community locally, nationally, and internationally. We have a downtown organization called Mainstreet Cleveland that promotes downtown utilization and events such as our Halloween Block Party, seasonal concerts, and automobile shows once per month during the summer months. The department participates in these and many other events to promote fire safety and the importance of smoke detectors.
