Office of Emergency Services

Our office is under the leadership of Julius J. Leone, Jr., Director and Fire Coordinator.

Text-messaging is available on cell phones when your department receives a call from dispatch. All call information is readily available on your phone providing details and addresses. No more looking at the pager and asking it “where was that call again?” To submit your number for text messaging, you must include your name, phone number, fire department and/or specialty team, and cell phone carrier name.

We have several Coordinators who specialize in Emergency Management, designated by specialty or battalions. These Coordinators oversee drills, meetings, and assist individual fire departments or personnel with questions, concerns or problems they might have.

Drills are a vital part of fire service. The Office of Emergency Services is in a constant effort to plan and execute drills which benefit the entire county. If you have just attended a drill hosted by our office, know another one is in the making! The outcome of your next fire/ems call is only as good as your last drill!
