The Osaka Municipal Fire Department (Japanese: 大阪市消防局, Hepburn: Ōsaka-shi Shōbōkyoku) is the fire department of Osaka City, Japan. Formed in 1948 during the post-war reorganisation of Japan's government, the OMFD is today the third-largest fire department in Japan (behind the Tokyo Fire Department and the Yokohama Fire Bureau) by number of firefighters, operating out of their headquarters in Nishi Ward and the 89 fire stations and branch stations spread across the city.
In the 2023 financial year, the OMFD responded to 707 fires (a 10% increase on the previous year, with building fires making up 77.9% of total fire calls), 263,089 calls for emergency medical services, 4,431 technical rescue operations, and 8,946 other calls for assistance, including hazardous materials, flood prevention, animal rescue incidents, and 6,117 false alarm callouts. The year also saw the OMFD process 6,229 building fire safety plan applications, 62,654 fire safety equipment certification applications, and 6,913 hazardous materials permit applications, as well as inspecting 56,096 pieces of fire safety equipment and delivering 661,443 fire safety visits.
