Fire Stations

Almost every home and business is within six minutes of a fire station. Fire stations store firefighting apparatus, personal protective equipment, and specialized equipment. In addition, fire stations often provide living and training facilities for firefighters. Some fire stations also host public events, such as fundraisers. Fire stations also conduct regular inspections.

Fire stations are usually named after the fire company that operates them, or after the primary fire apparatus. Some stations are staffed with career firefighters while others are staffed by on-call personnel. Fire stations are also used to conduct training drills.

The City of Roseville operates eight fire stations. They are strategically located to ensure that fire departments have a quick response to emergencies. The Fire Department is responsible for protecting the City’s property, assets, and citizens. The Fire Department is also responsible for regulating fire codes and developing new regulations. The Fire Department trains firefighters in many areas, including trench rescue, top water rescue, extrication, and emergency medical services. The Fire Department also has numerous specialized teams, such as Hazardous Materials, Dive Rescue, and Technical Rescue.

Stations staffed with full-time firefighters are manned 24 hours a day. They are led by company officers, such as battalion chiefs and battalion captains. The Fire Department is ISO Class 1, which is the highest rating. The ISO rating measures the quality of the Fire Department’s staffing, response times, apparatus, and station distribution. The Insurance Services Office also evaluates the fire departments’ staffing, equipment, and response times.
