Fire Support Services Division
Fire support services that strengthen operations in the field.
Disaster Response Services provides integrated logistics, rehab support, communications support,
and mobile field resources designed to help responders and communities operate more safely,
effectively, and sustainably.
This division exists to support the people around the mission — helping keep operations supplied,
supported, connected, and better positioned for the demands of real-world incidents, training events,
and community response needs.
responder care, logistics, communications, and operational readiness.
What Fire Support Services means
Fire Support Services is the DRS division focused on helping support operations around incidents,
deployments, training events, and community response needs. It is built around the idea that strong
operations depend not only on frontline action, but on the systems that keep people supplied,
supported, informed, and able to continue working safely.
That includes practical field support such as logistics, responder rehab support, communications
support, mobile resources, and operational assistance that helps strengthen readiness in the field.
This division is designed to work in a support role — not to replace fire agencies, command staff,
or official emergency systems, but to help reinforce the operational backbone around the work.
Core support areas
These are the main ways DRS Fire Support Services can contribute to safer, more supported operations.
Field logistics
Moving support where it is needed
Movement and coordination of supplies, support materials, field resources, and operational tools
that help missions run more smoothly.
Communications & mobile support
Supporting coordination and field connectivity
Assistance with mobile command support, communications tools, field coordination resources,
and connected operational support systems.
Deployment & community support
Support for events, training, and response-oriented operations
Practical support for training events, public safety outreach, evacuation support logistics where
appropriate, and community-centered field operations.
Why it matters
Incidents depend on support systems, not just frontline action.
Fire support work is often what keeps an operation stable over time. People need water, cooling,
rest, supply movement, communications support, and practical coordination help if a response or
training mission is going to remain safe and effective.
For DRS, Fire Support Services helps strengthen the operational backbone around the work. It is
about sustainability, readiness, field support, and helping reduce strain wherever possible.
