Emergency Services - Fire and Police <br />(a) Fire Protection. City fire protection is provided by the Everett Fire Department. Mutual aid <br />agreements also exist with neighboring jurisdictions and special districts. The Department currently <br />maintains six stations throughout the city, and a Supply Depot building with facility support shop <br />and an emergency vehicle certified maintenance shop. Administrative offices are also located in the <br />Wall Street Building. <br />A variety of resources are housed within each of the six stations, depending on demonstrated need. <br />These include fire engines, ladder trucks, fire fighters, Medic Units, Aid Cars, and Battalion Chief <br />Vehicles. <br />Ambulance services are provided by two sources: (1) private companies are contracted to transport <br />victims for non -emergency needs, and (2) the City maintains basic life support and advanced life <br />support ambulances within its own fleet for emergency situations. The City's hazardous materials <br />van, technical rescue apparatus and emergency management organization are also under the <br />jurisdiction of the Fire Department. <br />The Everett Fire Department undergoes a periodic review and analysis for evaluation of its current <br />and future operations. Decisions regarding possible expansion of facilities are based on these <br />analyses. The 2011 Climate Action Plan for Municipal Operations stated that the fire department is <br />reducing the City's greenhouse gas emissions by 610 metric tons of CO2e per year through <br />operation of a compressed work week, and work schedule adjustments, along with building <br />upgrades. <br />Snohomish County Airport Fire Units, Snohomish County Fire District 1, Marysville Fire <br />Department and Snohomish County Fire District 4 provide fire service in the areas around Everett's <br />boundaries. <br />(i) Inventory and location.
