"Fire & EMS Operations
This division consists of over 300 personnel covering three rotating 24-hour shifts in thirteen fire stations. On every shift, there are thirteen engine companies, eight Mobile Intensive Care Units, five truck companies, and five tankers collectively serving as the department's front line emergency medical, rescue, and fire suppression response capability. Each shift is overseen by six Battalion Chiefs (three Fire, two EMS, and one Safety). Also available through cross-manning are an additional rescue company and a variety of well-equipped specialized units, including dive, foam, hazmat, mountain and water rescue. A central 911 dispatch system serves the entire Municipality and coordinates police, fire and EMS response to all areas of the Municipality.

In addition to suppression duties, each engine company serves as a non-transport Basic Life Support (BLS) unit equipped with a semi-automatic defibrillator to enhance response to cardiac emergencies. The engine companies supplement the Department's 58 Paramedics, who, in combination with Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's), provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) care and transport. Likewise, all Paramedics are cross-trained as firefighters to enhance response to suppression incidents when necessary."
