Fire Suppression
Division
The
Assistant Chief of Operations works directly with the Battalion
Chiefs and station Captains to ensure vehicles and stations in
the District are ready for any emergency and also to ensure that
a safe working and living environment is provided for each
employee.
The
Assistant Chief of Operations also works directly with the
Training Division Chief and the Training staff to ensure
Suppression personnel remain highly trained and in compliance
with all applicable county, state, and federal requirements.
The
District's Suppression personnel are divided into three
platoons, A, B and C. Each platoon is commanded by a Battalion
Chief who is responsible for the workings of his individual
shift, communicating with the other shifts’ Battalion Chiefs to
coordinate the continuity of ongoing projects and day-to-day
operations. Battalion Chiefs work directly with the
station Captains, who head the three or four member companies
assigned to a station.
The
District has approximately 50 Reserve and Volunteer Firefighters
who augment the District’s emergency resources. Reserve
Firefighters respond from various stations within the District,
assisting District companies with emergencies as required.
Volunteer Firefighters serve as the first responders from
Station #37 to emergencies within the Morgan Territory area.
All new Reserve and Volunteers Firefighters attend a 60
hour academy covering all aspects of firefighting, emergency
medical, and hazardous material incidents. Reserves and
Volunteers drill twice monthly and participate in ride-alongs
and live burns throughout the year.
The
District’s Suppression personnel include 3 Battalion Chiefs, 39
Captains, 42 Engineers, 55 Firefighters (50 which are
Paramedics), and 9 Dispatchers. All Suppression personnel,
excluding Dispatchers, are certified EMT-1A's and State
Certified Firefighter I and II. The crew of every engine, truck,
and ambulance includes a Contra Costa County accredited
Paramedic.
