Did you know our firefighters work 48-hour shifts? That means every two days a new crew arrives and immediately begins a full apparatus check-off to ensure everything is ready to go.
For our first-due engine alone, there are 196 items that must be checked. Add 58 items in the paramedic drug box and another 167 pieces of medical equipment that are inspected and verified — all at the beginning of every shift.
Before the first call ever comes in, hundreds of checks have already been completed. It’s all part of our commitment to being ready, prepared, and proud to serve our community. 🚒
