Fire protection is provided by the Florissant Valley Fire District (operated by a separate governmental agency), which has maintained a Class 4 fire insurance rating. The district has three modern fire stations within the city and is operated by a full-time staff of trained fire fighters. A portion of Florissant is served by the Black Jack Fire Department.

Senior citizens enjoy a host of programs supported by the city. These include a Resident Photo ID framed in yellow which entitles elderly individuals to special services. Numerous local retail establishments honor the Resident ID for extra discounts on merchandise and services. The city publishes two pages for seniors in the Florissant Focus Newsletter and sponsors "FLERT" (Florissant Local Elderly Resident Transportation), a free door-to-door bus service. In addition, it provides a "File of Life" service, whereby a uniformed police officer installs a plastic vial containing residents' medical information in their household refrigerators, where it can be readily located by emergency personnel.
