Yes, if used as a proper noun.

For example:

Mills Borough Fire Department.

New York City Fire Department.

However, without a proper noun, the phrase does not need capitalization.

For example:

Many fire departments offer home safety instruction.

The regional fire departments banded together for Fire Safety Week.

When you are writing about a particular fire department (Seattle fire Department, New york City Fire Department, etc), it is a Proper Noun and should be capitalized. If you are writing about fire department in general, as in the sentence "Should you capitalize "fire department?" the terms is a common noun and should not be capitalized.
