The Operations Division of the Fire District is where the bulk of the services offered by the District are carried out. These services include emergency medical services, Air Medical Services, fire suppression, staffing, Honor Guard, Explorers Program, and the Special Operations Team. In addition, it oversees the Training and Safety Division, Communications Division and Fleet Maintenance.

The Operations Division has over 400 Firefighters assigned to its 17 fire stations located throughout the county, with two new stations planned for 2008. The Fire District receives around 35,000 emergency calls each year, with over 85% of these calls being medical emergencies.
