El Dorado Fire Department Transitions to Official .GOV Website and Email Addresses
The El Dorado Fire Department Has Moved to .GOV
The El Dorado Fire Department is proud to announce the completion of an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to professionalism, cybersecurity, and public trust. Our department has officially transitioned to a .gov internet domain.
Our new official website is:
https://www.eldoradofirear.gov
Our official email addresses now end in:
@eldoradofirear.gov
Why Are We Making This Change?
The .gov domain is reserved exclusively for verified government entities in the United States. Obtaining a .gov domain requires identity verification through the federal government, providing an additional layer of authenticity and security for the public.
By transitioning to eldoradofirear.gov, we are:
Enhancing cybersecurity for our organization and the community we serve.
Making it easier for citizens to recognize official department communications.
Reducing the risk of phishing and fraudulent emails.
Aligning with government best practices for digital identity and public communications.
This change reflects our continued investment in secure, reliable, and professional public service.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you have our website bookmarked or have saved one of our email addresses, we encourage you to update your records.
New Website
https://www.eldoradofirear.gov
New Email Format
Instead of:
firefighter@eldoradofire.org
Please use:
firefighter@eldoradofirear.gov
Will the Old Email Addresses Still Work?
Yes.
During our transition period, emails sent to our previous @eldoradofire.org addresses will continue to be delivered. This allows our community, partner agencies, vendors, and healthcare partners time to update their records without disrupting communication.
Although the previous addresses will continue to function temporarily, we encourage everyone to begin using our new @eldoradofirear.gov addresses immediately.
No Changes to Emergency Services
This transition only affects our website and email addresses.
911 remains the same.
Emergency response services are unchanged.
Our stations, personnel, and operations continue to serve the City of El Dorado and our community without interruption.
A Commitment to Security and Transparency
As technology continues to evolve, protecting public information and maintaining secure communications are more important than ever.
Moving to a .gov domain is another step in our ongoing efforts to provide professional, trustworthy, and secure service to the citizens of El Dorado.
We appreciate your patience during this transition and thank you for updating your records.

El Dorado Fire Chief Chad Mosby Recognized for 30 Years of National EMS Certification
The El Dorado Fire Department is proud to announce that Fire Chief/Paramedic Chad Mosby has been recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for 30 years of continuous National EMS certification. The National Registry recently presented Mosby with a certificate commemorating this milestone and his longstanding commitment to professional excellence in emergency medical services.
Mosby first earned National Registry certification in 1995 as an EMT-Intermediate and later that same year obtained his National Registry Paramedic certification. Since then, he has maintained his National Registry credentials through ongoing education, training, and recertification while serving the citizens of El Dorado and advancing through a distinguished career in fire and emergency medical services.
National Registry certification is recognized throughout the United States as a benchmark of professional competency for EMS providers. Maintaining certification requires continued education and verification of knowledge and skills to ensure EMS professionals remain current with evolving standards of patient care.
Mosby has served in the fire service for 31 years and has been a paramedic for 30 years. He currently serves as Fire Chief of the El Dorado Fire Department, a position he has held for the past 14 years. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to professional development and advancing the quality of emergency medical services delivered to the community.
The recognition highlights both Mosby’s dedication to the EMS profession and the El Dorado Fire Department’s commitment to providing exceptional emergency medical care to the residents and visitors of El Dorado.
