Absolutely awful department to work for, 0 stars. Currently in a staffing crisis and the leadership and management have a complete disconnect with their staff. Would rather police moustaches than staff their trucks, complete incompetence at the Chiefs level.
# of Fire apparatus in 1975 53 with 175 Firefighters
# of Fire apparatus in 2025 46 with 167 Firefighters (with a 10x increase in calls)
By 9 am daily they have 0 EMS units available to respond to calls resulting in hours long wait times for a 911 ambulance.
One of the highest per capita ratios of structure fires in North America and trucks are daily browned out resulting in response times of 17 minutes
A complete embarrassment to the Fire and EMS service.
