Fire Department

Special Programs

	CERT
	Under the direction of local emergency responders, CERT teams help provide critical support by giving immediate assistance to victims, providing damage assessment information, and organizing other volunteers at a disaster site.

	Hazardous Materials
	The Department cross-staffs a Hazardous Materials Response Team that is ready to respond to any spill or release of a hazardous product. This provides for safety to our residents, businesses and visitors to the city.

	Urban Search and Rescue
	Our search and rescue resources are organized into three distinct groups. We have a technical rescue team, a Swiftwater rescue team and an urban search and rescue task force.

	Explorer Post 101
	This program, sponsored through the Boy Scouts of America, is for young men and women interested in a fire service career. The program provides education, training, and a strong positive work ethic to further prepare Fire Explorer Cadets for a career in the Fire Service.

	Arson Task Force
	The City's Arson Task Force is a multi-agency task force comprised of members of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Riverside Police Department as well as the Fire Department.

	Emergency Medical Services
	Riverside's Emergency Medical Service is provided through the Fire Department. All of our City's fire engines and rescue squads have paramedic firefighters staffing them. This allows for a rapid response to medical emergencies.
