Message from Interim Chief Pabel Troche

I am honored and humbled to step into the role of Interim Fire Chief for the City of Roswell. Serving this community and the dedicated members of the Roswell Fire Department (RFD) is a privilege that I do not take lightly. Our mission remains steadfast—to protect life, property, and enhance the quality of life by providing dynamic services, including emergency response and community risk reduction activities.

The RFD is composed of a team of highly skilled and committed firefighters, officers, and support personnel who work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents and visitors. Together, we respond to over 10,000 calls annually, operating from seven fire stations, a separate fire headquarters, and the Roswell-Alpharetta Public Safety Training Center. We take great pride in our role as an all-hazards, ISO Class 2 agency, delivering fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, fire prevention, and public education.

As we move forward, our focus remains on fostering a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and teamwork. I am committed to supporting the incredible men and women of RFD, ensuring they have the resources and training needed to serve at the highest level. Through collaboration and dedication, we will continue to uphold the values of integrity, service, and excellence that define this department.

The vision of the Roswell Fire Department is to be an innovative world-class public safety organization. We will achieve this while abiding by our core values:
  • Service – We serve others before ourselves.
  • Teamwork – We are #OneTeam at Roswell Fire Department.
  • Accountability – We are accountable for our actions and those of our team.
  • Integrity – We earn trust through our actions.
  • Respect – We embrace our differences and are considerate of others.
