"The Eudora Fire Department History goes back to 1926 when it was formed as a volunteer fire squad. Eudora's rapid growth in just the past decade has resulted in the building of a new Public Safety Building, hiring of its first full time Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, as well as replacement of a 30-year old fire apparatus. Currently the department serves the 6,000+ residents and visitors with approximately 40 volunteer firefighters, EMT's and paramedics responding to approximately 650 calls on average with response times less than four minutes." - Eudora Fire Department Strategic Plan
