The department was formed in 1924 and was originally comprised of 19 men and two pieces of fire apparatus. Since then, The Hollywood Fire department has evolved to its present size of almost 300 personnel, including 213 sworn firefighters and 19 pieces of fire apparatus. Firefighters and equipment are placed in six strategically located fire stations, which will respond to nearly 28,000 alarms per year.

Additionally, there are more than 40 full-time civilian personnel, (26 at Beach Safety, 3 apparatus mechanics, and 12 support / technical staff) and just over 30 part-time lifeguards.
