Maintenance

The Bluffton Township Fire District Maintenance Division is currently comprised of five personnel who are responsible for administering and maintaining the department’s fleet of 12 pumpers, 3 aerials, 5 suppression support and 20 administrative vehicles. In addition, they also maintain our station standby generators, 60 + units of small engine equipment either on apparatus or located at stations, assist with prop fabrication and logistics for the entire department and last are our first line of call for any maintenance issue before an outside service vendor is considered.

Our personnel combined have over 57 years’ experience in apparatus, automotive, equipment repair and maintenance and are trained to both ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) and EVT (Emergency Vehicle Technician) levels. During storm mode and other high personnel responses, they man their trucks with equipment and additional recalled personnel to support the efforts in incident mitigation. Our maintenance personnel are an integral part of the department, and they take pride in and are dedicated to the department and their community.
