Led by Fire Chief Chris Tubbs, a native Islander, the department's 28 firefighters respond to an average of 2,300 calls for aid every year. The Fire Department works to educate the public about how to prevent fires and quickly and safely put out the fires when they occur.
Fire personnel are also trained in Basic Life Support (BLS) and certified for dive/water rescues.
