The City of Marshall Fire Department operates with a Fire Chief, a staff of ten  career - 3 Captains, 3 Lieutenants, 3 Firefighters, 1 Fire Inspector,  and up to 15 Paid-On-Call. The Fire Chief handles all administrative operations, while the Captains oversee operations on a daily basis.

Throughout the year, firefighters are involved in various fire prevention activities which include industrial and commercial fire inspections; fire safety programs for school children, seniors, and civic organizations; and a city-wide residential smoke detector program which provides free detectors and batteries. Firefighters conduct tours of the station for school children and other groups who are learning about fire prevention and firefighting, or just want to look at the fire trucks.

Marshall Fire Department continues to improve operations, including the construction of a new facility in 2015.  This station houses a squad, an engine, a rescue pumper, an aerial truck, and Marshall's first motorized fire engine - a1918 American LaFrance. The Fire Department is very active in training to ensure that all personnel are prepared to handle emergency situations and improve firefighting skills.  Firefighter training is conducted twice, and medical training once each month.
