The Osaka Municipal Fire Department (Japanese: 大阪市消防局, Hepburn: Ōsaka-shi Shōbōchō) is the fire department of Osaka City, Japan.

The first organized firefighting service in Osaka was established in 1634, when four hikeshi brigades were formed in the city, one professional and four volunteer; many of the members of the volunteer brigades worked in construction, as the primary way of preventing fire spreading in the dense wooden housing districts was to tear houses down to create firebreaks.

[2] During the Pacific War, Osaka was subjected to severe bombing raids, including firebombing; it is estimated that over 10,000 people were killed in these raids, with over 310,000 houses destroyed.

[2] Following the end of the war, firefighting in Japan was reorganised, creating the modern municipal fire department system; as a result, the Osaka Municipal Fire Department was created in 1948.

[2] The medallion that forms the modern logo of the OMFD was created in 1948, and has many constituent parts:[3] Fire stations form the basic subunits of the Osaka Municipal Fire Department (as is typical with Japanese fire departments), with each one being a self-contained command structure, while specialised functions such as Planning, Fire Prevention, and High Command are contained within the department Headquarters.
