In 2010, the IFD responded to a combined total of approximately 120,000 runs. The IFD is responsible for the safety of 800,000+ citizens and is a fully professional fire department.

The IFD is spread throughout the fire district and its facilities include fire stations and multiple administrative offices and services located at several additional sites throughout Indianapolis and Marion County. IFD hires new firefighters each year. The competition for firefighter positions is rigorous and the desirability of being an Indianapolis firefighter is evidenced by the fact that more than 1,000 applicants will compete for the 15 to 30 positions offered.

The IFD firefighter selection process is a full merit system that screens firefighter applicants using written tests, agility tests, structured oral interviews and fitness testing. Each candidate must also undergo a comprehensive medical examination and background investigation. The IFD does hire civilian paramedics to meet the need for open vacancies in their EMS Operations Division.

The physical and mental demands of firefighting are sometimes underestimated. Demanding physical standards are absolutely necessary because firefighting requires high levels of physical fitness and mental alertness. At present, Firefighters must also be good students to stay up with the technologies and changes in Fire Prevention, suppression, hazardous materials, rescue and medical procedures. This involves many subjects, such as Public Education, Arson Investigation, Emergency Medical and Transportation Procedures. In addition, Firefighters are becoming more involved with the levels of physical and mental fitness that are essential for Firefighters to meet the demands of their job.
