Firefighting

The Firefighter is the backbone of the fire service.  Typical duties include maintenance of the fire stations; apparatus cleaning and maintenance; continuing education; the performance of various tasks as may be required to mitigate an emergency, including raising ladders, pulling hose line, search and rescue and fire suppression.

Our firefighters also perform inspections on commercial buildings, this assists the Fire Marshal's Office in keeping existing buildings up to code but it also assist the firefighters in knowing what types of building and the layout that are in the engine and ladder companies areas of responsibility.
