The UC Santa Cruz Fire Department is the agency tasked with protecting life and property from fire and related dangers on the University of California, Santa Cruz's rural, heavily forested campus and in the surrounding community, as well as providing limited services to UCSC's more widely distributed, off-campus units. The department's primary responsibilities within the University are emergency response, fire protection engineering for new construction, fire prevention, public education, and disaster preparedness.〔 〕 The department employs a 20-member, full-time staff, comprising seven firefighters, five fire engineers, three captains, an assistant chief, a chief, an Emergency Manager, a Campus Continuity Planner, and a Unit Coordinator.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】work=University of California, Santa Cruz ) 〕 The department responds to approximately 800 incidents per year. It is one of only two fire departments in the UC system, along with the UC Davis Fire Department. The need for the Fire Department was identified in April 1971, after a fire gutted the Hahn Student Services Building, one of the first university structures on campus. The catastrophe, exacerbated by the length of time it took the Santa Cruz Fire Department to respond from its stations in town to the conflagration in the center of the relatively remote campus, led directly to the establishment of the UC Santa Cruz Fire Department.〔 〕 ==Apparatus== The department utilizes two types of engines for emergencies. Engine 2710 (''2012 Pierce Arrow XT'') - Type I structural response engine. This is the primary engine used by the fire department for emergency response. This engine will respond to most calls for fires, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, fire alarms, etc. Engine 2730 (''2001 Pierce Model 25/International 4900 Chassis'') - Type III wildland response engine. This engine is primarily used for wildland responses on (or near) the campus. This engine can also be used in the event of a mechanical failure to 2710. Other vehicles include assorted SUVs and trucks which are used in various emergency situations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of California, Santa Cruz Fire Department」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
