The Brewer Fire
Department consists of a total of 42
career
and on-call members who provide the citizens with 24-hours-a-day coverage of
emergency and non-emergency service. Their mission is to serve to the public.The Fire Department's
career personnel consists of a chief, an assistant chief, two captains, two
lieutenants, 12 firefighters, one ambulance paramedic per shift and a secretary.
The Department's part time paid on call personnel consists of one captain, one
lieutenant and 20 firefighters. The career division is made up of three crews of
five members and one paramedic each. It is their responsibility to insure that
apparatus and equipment is maintained to operate at 100% efficiency. Routine
upkeep of the Public Safety Building, Fire Department Training Area, and
training personnel are also regular duties. Assisting other City departments,
and most importantly, helping the citizens of Brewer when called upon to do so,
is the Fire Department's primary mission.
Public Education is
carried out by officers in the career division. The era of firefighters just
fighting fires has vanished, and the new age of prevention and suppression is
upon us. In keeping with this new trend, our staff personnel spend many hours
devoted to the area of training, education, and inspections.
In September of 2003
we began operating a second ambulance. This is to meet the ever growing demand
for medical service. The Brewer Fire Department provides primary ambulance
service in Brewer, Holden, Eddington and Clifton.
