Fire Station Locator

Find nearby fire stations using OpenStreetMap (Overpass). Map + radius + results + directions. Not for emergencies.

In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Fire station coverage guidance

Use this map to discover fire stations mapped in OpenStreetMap for your area. It is designed for planning and orientation—not dispatch or emergency use.

Operational context for your area

Fire service structures vary by country: municipal brigades, regional services, volunteer systems, and centralized national services. OpenStreetMap coverage also varies—use the radius strategically and verify stations through official or local sources.

This locator does not contact dispatch and it cannot confirm current staffing, apparatus availability, or response coverage. Use it for planning, education, and fast orientation in your area.

What this map includes

To keep results relevant and reduce false positives, the locator focuses on explicit fire-station tags rather than broad public-safety facilities.

  • OSM objects tagged as amenity=fire_station (preferred)
  • Nodes, ways, and relations (areas/polygons are returned using “center” points)
  • Results are best-effort and depend on local mapping quality

How to verify stations in your area

Because OpenStreetMap is community-maintained, verify critical locations with official sources before using them for operational planning.

  • Open “Directions” and confirm the public entrance / access point
  • Cross-check station names with official department pages or local directories
  • Use the “OSM” link to review tags and map notes (operator, ref, contact)
  • Adjust radius: smaller for dense cities, larger for rural coverage

Improve station coverage for your area

If you find missing or outdated station info, improving OpenStreetMap benefits responders and the public. Only add information you can verify publicly and safely.

  • Add missing stations in OpenStreetMap with amenity=fire_station
  • Where publicly available, add operator and an accurate station name (avoid private/secure details)
  • Use on-the-ground verification or official public sources; do not copy proprietary datasets

FAQ — Fire Station Locator

Accuracy depends on OpenStreetMap coverage. In well-mapped areas, station locations are often reliable; in under-mapped areas, results may be incomplete or outdated. Verify with official department sources when accuracy matters.

This locator targets explicit fire-station tags (primarily amenity=fire_station) and returns nodes, ways, and relations using center points for mapped areas.

Some stations may not be mapped yet, or they may be missing a name/operator tag. Use the OSM link to review tags and improve the data if you can verify details publicly.

Either there are no mapped stations nearby, or mapping coverage is incomplete. Increase the radius, move the map to a nearby metro, and try again. If you confirm stations exist, consider adding them to OpenStreetMap.

In an emergency, call your local emergency number. This tool does not contact dispatch and should not be used to request help.

Open openstreetmap.org and edit with the iD editor. Use amenity=fire_station, add a clear name and operator where publicly available, and avoid adding sensitive/private details.

It can help you locate mapped stations, but coverage varies widely. Treat results as guidance only and verify emergency numbers and services through official local resources.
