History

The first Fire Apparatus and Equipment Workshop was held in Yakima, Washington in October, 1980. It was evident by the standing-room-only gathering at this inaugural event that the Fire Service of Washington State was sincerely concerned about the status of its apparatus and desired to take an active roll in repair and maintenance. Through the years, the elected board and committee members have strived to improve and expand a fire apparatus program to meet this need. yearly workshop offers more than 25 courses in an extensive 5-day, 4-evening schedule. Along with this, we have a Vendors and Banquet night. The scope of the program is a wide selection of courses in most major areas of maintenance and repair based on the philosophy that preventative maintenance insures reliability, minimizes down time and is cost effective.

Job opportunity in the fire service, if you’ve ever wanted to live in Colorado.

When the call comes in, our crews need to know their apparatus is ready to go. That doesn’t happen by accident.

Mountain View Fire Rescue is hiring an Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) to join our Fleet team and help keep our fire engines, ambulances and other emergency vehicles safe, reliable and ready to respond when our community needs us.

This is a critical role behind the scenes. Our Fleet Facility works every day to keep MVFR’s emergency apparatus on the road, and our EVTs are an important part of that mission.

ENTRY LEVEL: $86,022
EVT I: $98,438
EVT II: $102,375
EVT III: $106,470

If you have the skills, experience and pride in keeping emergency vehicles ready for the next call, we’d like to hear from you.

October is breast cancer awareness month. In the U.S. 1 in 8 women and 1 in 1000 men will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. I’m sure you know of someone in your life who has been affected, take the time this month to learn about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
