Bullhead City Fire Department :: www.bullheadfire.org

The maintenance and repairs for Bullhead Fire District are performed by three full time mechanics - support services supervisor Steve Smith and mechanics Paul Cook and Gary Kolar. All aspects of repairs and maintenance are performed in house from major to minor repairs, and all fabrication from building compartments and doors to custom outfitting apparatus equipment.

When a new engine, ambulance, or staff vehicle is needed the supervisor writes the specification. We have an apparatus committee that reviews the specs and gives input to these specifications. All aspects from pre-builds to acceptance are reviewed by the supervisor and a member of the apparatus committee. This ensures the best quality apparatus for the best price. All acceptance testing is done in house by the maintenance division.
