Inside the UFRS

We’ve been here since 1874, proudly serving our community every day, 365 days a year (that’s about 49,640 days we’ve been on duty—but with a job this good, who’s counting?). Our department is proud to be diverse in many ways, and those differences help us tackle the unique challenges we face every day.

Our 59-member team is organized into four divisions, each of which is responsible for specific goals and objectives. They include:

Administration—functions include planning, organizing, coordinating, and controlling the services and programs provided by the department.
Training and Support Services—provides support services for the emergency Services, Prevention and Education Services, and Administrative Divisions of the department.
Emergency Services—provides fire suppression, rescue/emergency medical, hazardous materials, and disaster response services.
Prevention and Education Services—duties include fire code enforcement, plan reviews, provides public education programs, and conducting fire/arson investigations.
