Fire Suppression

We still put the "wet stuff on the red stuff," although our methods of extinguishing fires have been refined over the years. Our education in fire sciences, and changes in building designs and methods of construction, including the introduction of new "light weight" building materials, have caused us to take a new approach to the old "standard" ways of fighting fires.
Basically speaking, the best method of extinguishing fires is a quick interior attack, if possible. This is made possible with the improved personal safety equipment that today's firefighters use.
Our personal protective equipment (also known as "bunker gear") and breathing apparatus, help to protect us, which in turn permits us to get closer to the fire for short periods of time.
In addition, with the latest PEOSHA requirements regarding the "2-in-2 out rule," we are now more than ever concerned with the safety of our fire fighting brothers and sisters.

Emergency Medical Services

In addition to providing fire fighting, our personnel also provide Basic Life Support to both township residents and individuals who travel the roadways throughout our municipality.
