the City of West Sacramento. To effectively complete this mission,
the Department has located five fire stations throughout the City,
each of which houses one front line fire engine equipped to handle
a variety of emergency calls. The five fire stations operate 24

on duty. Firefighters work 24-hour tours of duty. There are three
work groups called "shifts". Additionally, a Division
