I am fortunate to be a member of a large department. We have:
14 Fire Stations
14 Front line Engines
14 Tankers
Over 300 Personnel
10 Quick Response Vehicles (I think, maybe more)
2 Boats (Again, maybe more)
2 Large Mobile Command Vehicles
2 Rescue Squads
Special Teams:
Federal Wildland Team
Federal Urban Search & Rescue Team
Dive Team
Bike Team (for our local trails)
Hazardous Materials Team
I am not sure on the total number of calls for all stations. I know our busiest station alone had over 3,000 calls last year.
Because of our size I have not been to every station. These numbers maybe slightly low. You can check out our website at www.bcfdmo.com.
