Welcome
Today's fire service is
drastically different than when I began in January, 1972, as a
firefighter. Customer service is at our forefront in both
emergency and non-emergency responses. Our department is involved
in a myriad of activities to assist in our mission...
"To serve the public by protecting life and property, minimizing the impact of fire, and rapidly responding to medical emergencies, potential disasters or uncontrolled events that adversely affect the community and environment."
Our most important asset to our citizens in the accomplishment of our goals and objectives is our employees. They number one hundred-thirty-nine and come from different backgrounds, cultures, gender, race, educational levels and age.
Our Vision:
-
To be the best we can be.
-
Customer service is our focus.
-
Our most important assets are our employees.
-
We are good guardians of our fiscal and human resources.
-
Teamwork is a vital part of our foundation.
-
Integrity is always maintained.
