Fire Department

We provide many emergency and non-emergency services like inspections (open burning, permits, Knox Box, etc.), safety education, and emergency preparedness using firefighters and administrative staff. Olathe's fire chief is Jeff DeGraffenreid, Ed.D. 

Firefighters work 24-hour rotating shifts from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. Our three rotating shifts provide service from seven, strategically located fire stations. Firefighters are on duty at all times, even holidays. Learn more about an Olathe firefighting career.
