 The
role of the Nimishillen Township Fire Department
has changed dramatically since the department was founded in 1958
with volunteer citizen fire fighters and a used pump truck. Today’s needs
and increased requests for additional services have required the
department to
redefine its mission to include the delivery of emergency medical and
rescue services. In the beginning, fire fighters were trained to
administer first aid, CPR and other basic life support functions. Today,
NTFD fire fighters are highly trained and required to perform a wide
variety of pre-hospital care procedures. Working from three modern
stations, the highly trained men and women of the department responded to
1,350 calls in 2008 with an average response time of about 4 minutes. The
calls
for
 emergency
medical service also includes motor vehicle accidents.
The
number of emergency calls has gone from
975 in 1998 to 1,350 in
2008, an increase of 38%. We now make nearly 4 emergency runs every day, and the forecast
is for that number to continue to increase. |
