Firefighters live and work as a team. They may be called upon at any moment to respond to emergencies and need to stay together. They take the fire engine because it is their toolbox; it carries all the tools they may need to mitigate many different kinds of emergencies. Firefighters may be at the grocery store to buy healthy food to eat at the station, to mitigate an incident, or to do a preplan of the building before an emergency happens. Each fire engine requires a minimum of three firefighters to respond to an incident. So that means if the fire engine is called to an emergency and all three firefighters are not together, another fire engine must be called upon to assist, tying up the second engine if it becomes needed elsewhere.

No. Firefighters are just like most workers in the private sector, if they want to eat they must provide their own food. The only time the fire department buys food for firefighters is when they are working a long duration incident and the firefighters are unable to buy or prepare their own while on scene.

The Fire Department provides fire and emergency medical services by career and reserve firefighters and state certified EMT’s and paramedics. The Department has a full complement of fire, medical, and rescue equipment. The Department also provides fire inspection and public education programs.
