The Operations Division consists of what the public normally imagines when they think of a fire department:  the response to, and training for, emergencies in our communities.  The primary purpose of Operations is to protect life, property, and the environment.

The French Camp McKinley Fire District is an "All Risk" agency and responds to a variety of emergent and non-emergent calls for service.  The District responds to approximately 230 fires and explosions, 1,100 emergecy medical aids, and 150 traffic accidents and extrications annually.
