The District has a single firehouse located at 7302 Pasadena Boulevard at the intersection of Roland Boulevard. It operates three ambulances and two pumpers. The pumpers are sometimes dispatched in response to a medical emergency call, instead of dispatching an ambulance, in that the firefighters serving on the pumpers are also fully trained, certified and experienced paramedics or emergency medical technicians; and the pumpers contain the same advanced life support equipment and supplies that are found on the ambulances.
