With the
changing times and evolution of the fire service, we have taken on many new
tasks and responsibilities. However,
fire suppression is still our primary mission.
Fire loss has been kept to a minimum through the fast and competent
actions of our firefighters. Our
firefighters are equipped with the finest apparatus and the state of the art
equipment.
Several
examples of this;
A total
replacement of every nozzle on the department with high tech nozzles which
require less pressure for higher volume of water. This increases the
firefighter’s ability to rapidly maneuver a hose line and put need amounts of
water on the seat of the fire.
Next, Every
firefighter’s breathing apparatus face piece was equipped with radio
communications interface and every firefighter carries a radio. This insures
that every firefighter is accounted for at all times.
A totally
self-contained incident management vehicle was built by the fire fighters out of
a salvaged motor home. This vehicle
is totally equipped with cameras, weather station, GPS, large command and
control work area, multiple radio systems with an interoperability device which
ties any agencies radio systems together.
With
continual practical fire training and extensive educational opportunities for
our firefighters we insure that our personnel can “protect those who protect
our country” .
