Operations Division

The Operations Division is where the rubber meets the road, literally.

The Operations Division is responsible for ensuring the emergency response service needs of the community are met with the most skilled and competent personnel and accomplishes this task by ensuring all personnel are trained to the highest level of efficiency and competence.

Physical Resources

The physical resources of the Operation Division consist of three strategically located fire stations within the Town of Little Elm to ensure a prompt response to all areas of our response district. Each fire station is equipped to house a fully-staffed fire apparatus and ambulance. The fire response area is divided into three districts to ensure the most efficient response of services to the areas covered. 

Mobile Resources

Each fire station houses at least one firefighting apparatus and an ambulance. Other mobile resources and equipment spread among the three stations include a tanker, Battalion Chief wagon, two brush trucks, support/air truck, reserve quint, reserve ambulance, and a 6 x 6 Polaris for special event emergency medical services or for deep woods fire suppression. In addition, due to the Town Limits covering a portion of Lake Lewisville, the Town has a public safety boat and a pair of jet-skis shared between the police and fire departments to ensure that public safety needs on the water are met.

Human Resources

By far, the most important resource of the Little Elm Fire Department's Operations Division are the men and women who provide fire and emergency services. Overseen by the Assistant Fire Chief, operations personnel are assigned to one of three shifts, known as A, B, and C shifts, and work on a 24-hours on/48-hours off rotation.
