Operations
Sometimes, our prevention efforts aren't enough. As Bozeman grows, we receive more calls for service. Our Operations Division stands ready to answer those calls.
Bozeman Firefighters must be ready to handle all kinds of incidents. They respond to fire, rescue, and medical calls. They also help with trench and rope rescues, vehicle removals, and hazardous materials. We are one of six regional teams in Montana that handle hazardous materials.
Training is a priority for the Operations Division. Our team trains for anything and everything. Each firefighter completes 240 hours of training per year. Agencies like National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Centers for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE), and Insurance Services Office (ISO) set this training requirement.
Our new key training programs include:
- Acquired structure training
- New recruit firefighter academy
- Wildland Firefighter training
- Enhanced Technical Rescue training
All team members are Emergency Medical Technicians. Some are Paramedics as well.
When not answering calls for service or training, firefighters do many things. They inspect and maintain equipment, stay fit, conduct fire inspections, and teach the public.
