Dispatch
The District’s Dispatch center is a critical component of emergency coordination and response. The fire dispatcher sends the appropriate number and type of units to the incident scene, relaying all of the significant information received from the caller to the responding fire units. Our dispatch team is comprised of four dispatch supervisors and nine dispatchers that provide dispatch services 24 hours per day, every day of the year.
Training
In-House Fire Training
The East Bay Regional Park District Fire Department offers in-house training for employees looking to become firefighters. The training includes extinguishing wildland fires, structure fires, and vehicle fires. Attendees learn hazardous material (hazmat) response and how to work in confined spaces like sewers and caves for rescues. This program was developed in an effort to standardize training for all fire personnel.
Emergency Medical Training
The Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Program of the East Bay Regional Park District Fire Department oversees the EMS training for firefighter personnel. These trainings cover medical emergencies, trauma, childbirth, burns, and response to mass casualty incidents.
The trainees are trained to use defibrillators, resuscitation equipment, and provide basic trauma support. These trainings prepare firefighters to respond to any medical emergency they may encounter in performing their duties as an EBRPD Firefighter. EMT re-certification classes are offered each year, and the EMT certification course is offered every other year.
