To provide and ensure effective emergency services for our citizens and visitors
Key Programs:
Emergency Communications Provide the vital link between the public and emergency responders by processing all 9-1-1 and non-emergency calls to acquire and disseminate information while efficiently dispatching appropriate emergency services.
To maintain a high level of preparedness, identify vulnerabilities, effectively mitigate disasters, provide public education, respond to all-hazard emergency situations; and facilitate effective recovery efforts following any all-hazard incident.
Ensure standardized, quality pre-hospital patient care by administering and coordinating a county system of emergency medical care and disaster medical response.
Protect life and property from fire, explosion and natural hazards by enforcement of the State Fire Prevention Code, public fire prevention and safety education, and investigation of fire and explosive incidents.
