The District's mission is to minimize the impact of life safety or property threats resulting from fire, emergency medical, or other hazardous conditions. These perils may include structure fires, vehicle accidents, hazardous conditions, industrial accidents, or specialized rescues. Our goal is to accomplish this mission through progressive personnel training, public education, comprehensive code enforcement, and utilizing our personnel, vehicles, and equipment at a constant state of readiness. |
