Exterior Firefighter

Members who do not wish to engage in interior firefighting operations, but are still interested in participating in fireground operations can serve as exterior firefighters. Exterior Firefighters are qualified to do everything on the fireground that interior firefighters do, except activities where SCBA is indicated. At fire scenes they provide services including outside hose work, connecting to a water source such as hydrants or other fire trucks, assist with laddering operations, setting up lights, assisting with tools and equipment, and other such duties as deemed appropriate by the Officer In Command. Exterior firefighters may also want to become driver/operators of our fire and rescue vehicles.
