The Support Group was established to perform those duties often associated with a fire emergency response which do NOT require the training and skill level of a certified Firefighter. The Group operates under the general direction of the Chief, however, during an emergency response the Group is generally supervised by the Station Manager and Incident Commander.

A Support Group volunteer's duties may include: Road Control - road closures or traffic direction during emergency incidents, Water Supply - operating a mobile water pump or controlling the flow of water from a fire hydrant, Helispot Coordinator - provide verbal assistance to a helicopter during landing when being used in an emergency incident, Logistical Support - transporting firefighters, equipment, food and/or water to the scene of an emergency incident and other duties as may be assigned by the Chief or Station Manager during an emergency incident.

Occasionally, and when assigned by the Chief, we may also assist the career staff with fire prevention duties, perform public education functions and assist in the District's Administrative Office.

Welcome, and we hope that you find your experience with the Support Services Group a rewarding experience.
