FIRE READY

It is vitally important to keep our fire fighting equipment "Fire Ready".
Before,
During,
and After a fire assignment, our teams must ensure their  tools are functional and ready for use..

Each crew has a tool truck known as the "Mothership". They are getting better every year.

Constantly improving our crews tools, efficiency, and performance is a long term goal.


You will find information on this page to help keep our tool trucks "Fire Ready"
