The Department strives to maintain a minimum level of 9 firefighters (1-Battalion Chief; 2-Captains [Company Officers]; 2 Engineers [Drivers]; and 4 Firefighters ) on duty 24 hours-a-day, everyday.

The Department has an Insurance Service Office - Public Protection Classification (PPC) of 4 in all areas of the response district, resulting in lower fire insurance costs to property owners.
