The Technician Division of York County Fire was created in 1999 to help reduce the amount of time the volunteer fire departments were spending to complete Insurance Services Office (ISO) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements.
Responsibilities
The Technician Division is responsible for annual testing and preventative maintenance of all fire hydrants in the unincorporated areas of the county. This testing ensures that all fire hydrants are kept in service and available for fire department use. This is a requirement of the ISO, which helps maintain the insurance rates assigned to the individual fire districts.
