Some of the benefits as a result of adding daytime staff are as follows:
- Enhance the provision of fire protection and fire suppression to the community.
- Comply with provisions of the Incident Command System and provide proper staffing and supervision on the emergency scene.
- Allow the firefighter crew to operate as an intact team thereby providing for improved safety of the citizens as well as emergency personnel.
- Provide for a quick response to emergency incidents while maintaining crew integrity.
- Provide adequate response to current as well as future development.
- Providing supports services, EMT (emergency medical technician) response to medical calls in the District
- Proved support services to Wall Fire District No. 1 with manpower through a shared service agreement to supplement the volunteer staff of Wall Fire Company No. 1.
It is important to mention the Fire District has added multiple volunteers over the past year and have an active volunteer firefighting force of 30 members. Our members are extremely well trained and dedicated however they are not available during the daytime hours due to careers out of town, etc
