We staff a medic unit with two every day of the year from 8-4. In times of really bad snowstorms or other weather conditions, we may man an engine and/or medic from 4pm-Midnight, then midnight to 8am as well.

For fires and MVA's with injuries we have AutoAid coming from a neighboring dept. So during the day, we have a medic unit with 2 (and airpacks) and an Engine with 2 responding to a fire. Both would most likely be on scene within 5 minutes or so.


Last year (734) was 50 calls down from the previous yr.

We are only dispatched on fire related runs with the exception of respiratory and cardiac arrest. However we will add on to any first due medical locals.

You know Homeland Security has sent out several notices to the Emergency Services Sector warning about Fire Departments listing their capabilities and manpower on websites. Might be be a good idea to keep that in mind when you post here too especially when you a specific as to your location. You can never tell just who is sizing you up...........

Well Homeland Security has also said that terrorists are bad guys. Maybe the news agencies should take their pictures off their websites, it could be considered promoting terrorism.


COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!


If (insert name here) the terrorist really wants to see what kind of apparatus, gear, and manpower we have, all he has to do is stop by the station and ask for a tour. I don't think that (insert terrorist organization name here) is going to be fooled or stumped by a simple problem such as not putting info on a website.


And I know for a fact that last night at dinner their was a smoking hot blonde who was sizing me up.
