The primary purpose of the fire department is to respond to calls for fire/rescue emergencies in an effort to save life and property. Fire and rescue emergencies include such responding to various types of fires, fire alarms, motor vehicle accidents rescues and various other situations.

There are many different kinds of fire/rescue calls.

· Fire Alarm – many homes and business have fire detection equipment. When it is activated it is transmitted to the 9-1-1 center as an alarm, 9-1-1 dispatches the fire company as if the alarm is an actual working fire.

· Carbon Monoxide Alarm – Treated as a hazardous condition the fire company has an arsenal of detection equipment for carbon monoxide and the ability to mitigate an incident with carbon monoxide.

· Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) – when multiple cars hit each other, or when a car strikes another object (pedestrian, telephone pole, etc). These incidents sometimes have hazardous materials leaks such as gasoline or involved entrapped injured patients that require the fire company to utilize tools such as the “Jaws of Life”.

· Structure Fire –when a home or other type of structure has a fire within.

· Mutual Aid – Calls to other municipalities; FMFD provides mutual aid to surrounding communities and as the need arise we reach out to them for assistance.

The most important thing to remember is that this is a professional volunteer organization.

Everyone puts in whatever time they can spare, but we do expect that when you
make a commitment to perform some duty, you follow through with it.!
