Staffing
The District employs 32 full time career firefighters that currently staff Station 44 (Wauna), Station 47 (Home) and Station 49 (Longbranch) 24 hours per day. There are also 3 Chief Officers that provide response assistance from Station 46 (Key Center) during the weekdays. Within this staff, there is a 24 hour per day Battalion Chief and Duty Chief.
​
The career firefighters work a 48/96 work schedule, while day staff works 40 hours per week. All career staff are represented by the International Association of Firefighters, Local 3152.
​
All of our career firefighters are either Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or Paramedics (PMs). This allows the District to provide emergency medical services and medical transport to the community.
​
The District employs five additional personnel including a Fire Prevention Specialist, an Executive Assistant, an Administrative Assistant, and a Facilities Maintenance Technician.
​
In addition to our paid staff, the District enjoys a very robust volunteer firefighter program. The District typically has between 6-10 active volunteers. These volunteers supplement our paid staff on shift and with responses from home.
