City of Pineville, Louisiana

The Fire Suppression Division of our Fire Department is composed of firefighters who are assigned to shift work at one of the city's 3 fire stations.  At full strength, each of the 3 shifts (A, B, or C) is comprised of 6 Fire Officers, 5 Chauffeur / Drivers and approximately 3 Firefighters. The Fire Officers report to the Assistant Chief, who directs the day-to-day activities of the division and serves as department head in the absence of the Fire Chief.

While one of the primary goals of the Fire Suppression Division continues to be the provision of quality emergency response services, our priorities have expanded in recent years to the areas of education, prevention, and preparedness.
