The mission of the Cape Elizabeth Fire & Rescue is to protect lives and property. We strive to achieve this by providing our citizens and visitors the best possible emergency services such as fire protection and prevention and emergency medical services (EMS).  

In an emergency, Fire & Rescue, police department, or EMS personnel need to find you in a timely fashion. Visibility of your house number is important. Please make it clearly visible from the street, as well as a contrasting color to the color of the house.

We offer free advice on the location of smoke detectors and CO detectors. Detectors should be located on every level of your home so that your family will receive early warning in case of a fire in your home. 

We have information about "state-of-the-art" residential sprinkler systems so that you would never have to worry about losing family members or your possessions to a serious fire. These systems can be installed now for less than you pay for wall-to-wall carpeting. The money you save on insurance premiums will pay for the system over the lifetime of your home.
