The Maintenance Division of the Grand Rapids Fire Department is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of 70 vehicles and 11 Fire Stations The Fire Department fleet consists of a wide range of vehicles, the front-line fleet consists primarily of pumpers, squads, rescue engines, quints, and command vehicles. The fleet also has vehicles that respond to a wide variety of more specialized emergency responses. These additional units range in size from tractor trailers for operations such as Hazardous Materials responses, to boats for river rescue operations.

The Fire Stations have several projects underway to help decrease our energy use, which will result in cost savings. Projects that were recently completed are lighting upgrades that were done with the help of rebate programs. These upgrades were done at Franklin, Bridge, and LaGrave Stations and planning is now complete to allow for these lighting upgrades at other Stations
