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 the budget, human
resources, payroll, revenue, asset management, grant 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, specialized responses such as aircraft rescue firefighting
(ARFF), hazardous materials (HazMat) squad, technical rescue, and swift water rescue.
The Educational and Support Services Division is responsible for the initial training of new firefighters, continuing
education, health and wellness programs, facility maintenance, fire apparatus, and equipment services, uniforms
and supplies, and dispatch and alarm services.
