Ambulances are staffed with two personnel at all times. These personnel are both trained in emergency medical services and can provide care in all settings. Some times patients require both personnel to assist in treatment in the back of the ambulance while responding to the hospital. The fire engine responds to high acuity calls that may require a driver or additional hands for the ambulance.

Fire Inspections

Violations vary in many different levels of importance when it comes to fire code. All violations are important and the code that applies to them has been developed with the safety of the property owner and the public in mind. We train our inspectors to convey as much information as possible when a violation is noted. When a violation is noted it very important to us that everyone understands the violation. Many violations are very simple to correct while others require an outside company to provide specialist work. Questions about specific violations can be submitted to the Fire Prevention Bureau.

Fire inspections are conducted biannually based on a rotating schedule. Inspectors will typically arrive at your business without prior warning to conduct the inspection. During the inspection inspectors will enter all areas of the building to ensure there are no hazards present. It is the departments goal to not disturb your business while conducting the inspection.

While conducting fire inspections, inspectors look at many different areas of common fire hazard. Fire extinguishers that have not been serviced, extension cords used as permanent wiring, exit signs that do not function in battery back up mode, and exit passageways that are locked or blocked are the most common violations found during inspections. While these fire code violations are the most common, the fire inspector will look for hundreds of different fire hazards. These violations are intended to prevent fires, protect property/assets, and save lives in the commercial setting.
