Operations

This division is responsible for fire suppression, emergency medical services, wildland response, training, and special operations activities in our 520-square-mile area. Members of the agency’s Operation Section respond to over 3500 calls for help each year out of our 3 full-time stations.

The Division is composed of 48 full-time personnel organized into three shifts in one battalion. Each is supervised by a Battalion Chief who is responsible for emergency and administrative functions for their particular shift.  Each Battalion Chief subsequently reports directly to the Fire Chief. The work schedule is an alternating schedule of 48-hour shifts.

Our agency takes part in automatic aid, countywide, and statewide mutual aid.
