SPECIALTY TEAMS
The Pearland Fire Department is responsible for emergency deployments, calls for service not related to fire response, Public Safety/Relations events, and much more. To ensure that we are able to meet the variety of emergency needs our community demands, PFD contains several specialty teams. These teams are made up of current department members who wish to specialize in technical proficiencies outside of firefighting and EMS. Our EMS Bike Team and SWAT Medic program are 2 of our most tenured specialty teams with our Water Rescue team forming in 2018 through a collaborative, city-wide effort.
