What we do

We value our past and embrace the challenges of the future.

Engine Companies

Their job is ultimately to extinguish the fire. The Engine Company will connect to a hydrant, stretch hose line, and attack the fire. Aside from fire calls, Engine Companies also respond to auto accidents, fuel spills, wires downs, gas emergencies, and so on.

Ladder Company

Their job at a fire is to search and rescue for any persons trapped; confining the fire; forcing doors to assist the Engine in getting to the fire room; as well as opening the roof, and/or windows to vent and remove heat for the inside teams, while controlling fire spread. Ladder Companies will also be called upon for auto accidents, as well as wires down, Carbon Monoxide emergencies, Gas emergencies, and so on.

Rescue Company

Their job is to treat and transport all patients to the hospital. In addition to medical emergencies, they will also respond to auto accidents and fires.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO COOL DOWN THE TANK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

TEAMWORK AND COMMUNICATION ARE GOING TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN AN EFFECTIVE OPERATION
