🔥🚒 Today, the New Orleans Fire Department visited the New Orleans Council on Aging Senior Companion Program to provide an important fire safety presentation.

During the visit, the NOFD shared valuable information to help members of the Senior Companion Program better understand fire safety, prevention, and the importance of being prepared.

Community outreach and fire safety education are important parts of helping keep New Orleans residents informed and safe. The New Orleans Fire Department appreciates opportunities to connect with our community and share this important message.

Thank you to the New Orleans Council on Aging and the Senior Companion Program for the warm welcome!

The New Orleans Fire Department proudly honors Captain Ronald Beaulieu following his retirement on September 2, 2026, after more than 41 years of dedicated service.

Captain Beaulieu began his career with the NOFD on June 9, 1985, dedicating more than four decades to serving the citizens of New Orleans. During his 41-year career with the department, he spent 36 years serving at Engine 29 in the French Quarter.

His decades of experience, commitment, and service represent a remarkable chapter in the history of the New Orleans Fire Department and the community he served.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Captain Beaulieu for the many years he devoted to the NOFD and the citizens of New Orleans. His contributions and dedication will be remembered as an important part of the department’s history.

Thank you for your service, Captain Beaulieu, and congratulations on your retirement.

🔥 September is Firefighter Appreciation Month!

This month, the New Orleans Fire Department proudly recognizes and thanks the men and women of the fire service for their dedication, courage, sacrifice, and commitment to serving others.

We are especially proud of our NOFD members, who answer the call each day to protect the residents and visitors of New Orleans.

That service extends beyond emergency response. NOFD firefighters are also active in the communities they serve through fire and life safety education, community events, outreach, and efforts to build strong relationships with residents throughout New Orleans.

Our appreciation extends beyond our city. We recognize firefighters parish by parish throughout Louisiana and across the nation who stand ready to serve their communities when they are needed most.

From the firehouse to the fireground and throughout the community, the commitment to service never stops.

To every firefighter: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication to the fire service. ❤️🚒

Happy Firefighter Appreciation Month! 🔥

🚒 MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF HISTORY. A NEW HOME. A NEW CHAPTER.

Today, the New Orleans Fire Department celebrated a milestone more than a century in the making with the ribbon-cutting of its new headquarters at 401 City Park Avenue.

Hosted by the New Orleans Fire Department, Mayor’s Office and Capital Projects Administration, the ceremony brought together Mayor Helena Moreno, NOFD Superintendent Roman Nelson, city officials, NOFD members and guests to mark the department’s historic move to a new location.

Following the ribbon-cutting, officials and guests toured the new headquarters and saw firsthand the modern spaces designed to support NOFD’s people and mission — from administrative offices and a 24-hour operations center to a dedicated emergency operations center and multi-use training space.

The approximately $12 million project represents an investment in the future of the New Orleans Fire Department and the people who serve this city every day.

For the first time in more than 100 years, NOFD Headquarters has a new home.

❤️ We honor the history that brought us here. We celebrate this moment. And we look ahead to the future.
