And
our
mission
statement
is
protecting
lives
and
supporting
our
community
with
compassion,
professionalism
and
teamwork.
So
what
makes
our
mission
statement
possible
taking
it
off
the
wall
to
action
is
the
men
and
women
who
work
for
our
department.
They
are
incredibly
professional,
talented
and
take
great
pride
in
serving
our
community.
I.
A
A
B
The
fire
engines,
which
is
a
huge
part
of
what
we
do,
we
do
wildland
and
structure
fire,
but
the
rescue
is
actually
more
of
what
we
do.
A
lot
of
people
don't
know
that
we
also
are
on
the
ambulances.
So
we,
if
you
call
nine
women,
have
a
medical
problem.
B
B
B
B
A
A
B
If
you
call,
let's
say
you
call
and
have
an
emergency,
obviously
the
dispatcher
gets
the
information
and
sends
the
appropriate
yeah
crew
to
your
call,
if
you
have
a
non-emergency
situation
like.
B
B
B
There's
a
spark
from
a
wildfire
that
comes
and
drops
near
your
home
right.
A
B
Yeah
a
lot
of
services
we
provide
and
we
take
great
great
pride
in
serving
our
community.
What.
A
B
So
we
have
a
great
website:
we
have
great
educational
tips,
seasonal
tips
for
people,
safety
for
the
river,
all
kinds
of
safety
tips
for
the
community.
We've
also
trying
to
develop
a
bunch
of
videos
for
kids
virtual
station
tour.
What
does
a
firefighter
wear
so
what
we
do
tours
of
our
engine
virtually
so
that's
a
really
fun
platform.
B
We
also
have
social
media,
facebook,
instagram
ben
fire
rescue
and
we
post
safety
tips,
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
fire
department.
So
that's
a
really
fun
follow
and
you
also
can
call
our
administration
building
and
get
in
touch
with
our
prevention
division.
If
you're
interested
in
that
defensible
space
or
other
things,
we
provide
right
now.
A
That's
awesome.
I
think
it's
great
to
have
a
multitude
of
different
ways
and
options
to
get
involved
and
or
to
ask
any
questions
that
they
may
have
in
our
self-select
and
look
on
the
website
or
talk
to
somebody
online
or
talk
to
the
911
operator,
it'll
direct
you
to
the
right
area.
Absolutely,
I
think
it's
wonderful
to
have
that.
You
know
choices,
options!
Trish!

all
that
information.
