DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Fire Department’s mission is to serve and protect the community through education, prevention
preparedness, and response. It provides protection of life and property from fires, the first response for
emergency medical services, fire safety and prevention programs, arson and fire cause investigations, and other
services. The department encompasses 45 fire stations and is organized into four major sections: Administration,
Executive Services, Operations, and Educational and Support Services.

The Administration Division administers fiscal and administrative responsibilities including budget, human
resources, payroll, revenue, asset management, and purchasing, along with the information technology needs of
the department.

The Executive Services Division oversees all arson/bomb activities, fire investigations, community risk reduction
activities, commercial building inspections, fire safety education, professional standards, and behavioral health
functions.

The Operations Division, which employs the vast majority of the department’s personnel, is responsible for daily
emergency response activities, building inspections, as well as specialized responses such as aircraft rescue
firefighting (ARFF), hazardous materials (HazMat) squad, technical rescue, and swift water rescue.
