What We Do
Operations oversees emergency response equipment and communications. Firefighters respond to structural, wildland, vehicle, and marine fires, medical emergencies, rescues, and hazardous material incidents.
Fire Prevention enhances public safety by conducting inspections, plan reviews, fire investigations, and enforcing fire codes. This division educates the public and reduces risks through proactive fire prevention initiatives.
Emergency Management coordinates city-wide disaster preparedness and response planning. This division organizes training exercises, supports emergency volunteers, and ensures compliance with provincial emergency management standards.
Administration manages payroll, human resources, budgeting, and administrative support to ensure seamless departmental operations.
Training provides annual training and an intensive eight-week, 360-hour recruit program.
