General Information

The Operations Division is comprised of emergency response personnel and equipment. The daily emergency response staffing for the entire fire department is 5 personnel. This staffing includes one Chief Officer, two 2-Person Engine Companies, one who also cross-staff an engine or a Truck Company.

The Department provides a full range of emergency responses services including but not limited to: structural fire suppression, wildland fire suppression, response to hazardous materials incidents, Urban Search and Rescue, water rescue, vehicle extrication, technical rescue as well as basic life support and advanced life support medical services.

Fire Department emergency response personnel respond to almost 2,500 incidents annually, of which approximately 65% are medical in nature, ranging from motor vehicle accidents and elderly falls to childbirths and heart attacks.

Engine companies are staffed with at least one Firefighter/Paramedic, and thus have the ability to immediately administer advanced life support (ALS) pre-hospital emergency medical care upon their arrival.

Fire Suppression

The department provides emergency response services for, but not limited to, structural fires, wildland fires, limited hazardous materials events, vehicle extrication, and technical rescue. We receive and provide Automatic Aid to the City of Isleton, and are a participant in the Solano County Mutual Aid Agreement. The department also participates in California Master Mutual Aid (strike teams).

Emergency Medical Services

The department is a non-transporting Advanced Life Support Agency, providing a high-level emergency medical service to the citizens of Rio Vista and the Delta Fire Protection District. The closest medical facilities are located in Antioch, Lodi and Fairfield, with distances ranging from 19 to 24 miles.

Training

The department’s progressive training program ensures that department personnel maintain their professional competencies relative to the skills and knowledge levels required of their respective classifications and positions within the department. The department has an established annual training calendar and provides department wide training on a bi-monthly basis. Personnel also participate in daily training sessions during their normal shift assignment.
