According to Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, a
fire fighter is described as "a person who fights fires." However, a fire
fighter does much more than fight fires. Today's fire fighter is a multifaceted
individual trained in Emergency Medical Technician procedures, technical rescue
disciplines such as structural collapse rescue, tunnel rescue, confined space rescue,
trench collapse rescue, rescue scuba diving as well as fire fighting.
The department employs 22 full-time and 8 part-time
employees.
