Our services are supported by tax dollars and, generally, no additional payment is required. Under certain circumstances, property owners may be charged for the costs incurred in the clean-up of hazardous substance spills (under State statute) and there are charges for fire alarm/sprinkler system permits.

Other agencies involved in emergency response within the Department's jurisdiction may apply charges according to their own policies.

When a 9-1-1 call is made, a set of pre-determined responses is set in motion. These responses are designed to put all necessary resources at the scene to adequately handle the emergency.
