Response Operations
RESPONSE OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
The Response Operations Division (Response Ops) is comprised of the men and women on the front lines of the fire and life safety services we provide. They perform the tasks most typically associated with our organization: fire suppression, EMS, and special rescue operations.
Our Response Ops members are carefully selected for excellence in their ability to deliver fire and life safety services. They undergo rigorous training to ensure they’re fully prepared to conduct themselves in a skillful and safe manner under the most extreme circumstances. Our members are among the best firefighters in the country and are recognized as industry leaders for having a CPR save rate well above the national average.
