Operational Leadership & Members

Our operational strength lies in the dedicated teams working around the clock to ensure the safety of our community. Divided into three shifts—A Shift, B Shift, and C Shift—each team is composed of highly skilled professionals committed to excellence in service. On every shift, a Battalion Chief leads with experience, supported by two Lieutenants who provide tactical leadership. Three Engineers ensure our apparatus and equipment are always ready for action, while four Firefighters stand ready to respond to emergencies with courage and precision. Together, these teams form the backbone of our department, delivering exceptional service 24/7.
