The men and women of Long View Fire
Department are a highly qualified team who
come from various walks of life. As is still
common in this part of the country, volunteer
and paid on call fire fighters are the majority
and are relied upon heavily by their respective
communities. While these individuals are
occasionally criticized by "arm chair
quarterbacks," it should be noted that they are
held to the same professional standards as
their paid counterparts. They endure
numerous hours each month, training,
attending meetings, assisting in apparatus
and station maintenance and of course,
fighting fire and performing other community
services. Their personal sacrifices save you,
the tax payer, untold amounts of money every
year.
Personnel
Certifications
Few fire fighters consider themselves to be
heroes. Full time, part time or volunteer, they
get up in the morning, put their pants on and
go to work, just as other Americans do every
day. The Hollywood glamorization of the
American fire fighter is simply that. Fire
fighters do not walk through flames. Nor are
they fearless. An experienced, well trained
fire fighter knows that he or she can burn or
suffocate just as easily as the public they are
charged with protecting. Therefore, it's critical
that all personnel be adequately trained to
analyze and evaluate each situation quickly
but carefully before taking any action.

We're proud of our fire fighters and their
efforts to attain and retain various
certifications that enable them to provide a
superior level of service to the community.
Below is a complete list of our personnel and
some of their basic qualifications.
