A Combination Fire & EMS Department
What “Combination Department” Means
As a combination department, our career staff and volunteer members train together, respond together, and support one another on every call. Career personnel provide consistent staffing around the clock, and volunteer members supplement that staffing — bringing passion, local connection, and community service to every shift.
This model allows us to:
- Maintain strong 24/7 emergency response coverage
- Give volunteers flexible ways to serve
- Support members of all experience levels — from brand new recruits to seasoned professionals
- Offer pathways into a fire/EMS career or lifelong community service
