Suppression / Operations Division

The suppression/operations division responds from six neighborhood fire stations that are equipped with 6 pumpers, 2 ladders, 2 mini-pumpers, and a heavy rescue truck. The stations are staffed 7 days a week with per diem apparatus operators from 8 AM until 5 PM. The call company members respond from home, work or anywhere to perform fire/rescue duties. Between the hours of 5 PM and 8 AM, the call company members respond to the station to drive the apparatus to the scene.

Our call company members are dedicated town residents that have undertaken the task of being trained to respond to any type of emergency. They are supervised by a call company captain, and the call company deputy fire chiefs.

Our per diem apparatus operators are experienced Scarborough call company members or career firefighters from other communities that work part time in our six fire stations. They are supervised by the on duty paramedic lieutenant, and the operations deputy fire chief.
