Department and home-fire context
The River Oaks Fire Department says it transitioned to full-time career service in October 2019 and has 12 full-time professional firefighters divided among three shifts of four. Separately, the City of River Oaks’ fire-safety guidance says working smoke alarms and a regularly practiced escape plan can save lives during a home fire.
