Every fire truck is staffed with a captain, driver and ideally, two firefighters.
The helmets are color coded for easy identification. Yellow helmets identify captains, and red helmets are for drivers and firefighters. The Fire Department has several levels of chiefs, who all wear white helmets. The Corpus Christi Fire Department's Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for enforcing local fires codes and investigating all fires. The primary job of the inspector is to ensure that fire and life safety codes are obeyed.
