FIRE DEPARTMENT
FIRE OPERATIONS DIVISION (100-35-352)
DIVISION DESCRIPTION:
The Fire Operations Division provides emergency services to the public in areas of fire and emergency medical services,
including rescue services, and supports fire administration, fire prevention, arson investigation and emergency management
activities. The firefighter/paramedics are housed in three fire stations and work a three-platoon rotating 48-hour shift. The Fire
Operations Division staffs and operates three fire apparatus and two ambulances as frontline units. Each shift is led by a
Battalion Chief who oversees the daily staffing, operation and response activities of their respective shift. The Fire Operations
Division provides specialty services such as technical rescue and explosive response by participating as a member of the
Northeast Fire Department Association (NEFDA) regional response teams. Fire Operations works closely with surrounding
departments through automatic and mutual aid agreements developed by the Fire Administration Division to provide the shortest
response times possible to emergency calls for service within the community. Fire Operations is dispatched by the Northeast
Tarrant County Communications Center (NETCOM), a regional communication center in which Keller is a joint member with
three other area cities.
