PROGRAMS & SERVICES
The Rochester Fire Department prides itself in its fire prevention program.
We do a fire prevention program in the schools K-3 during the month of October during National Fire Prevention Week. Throughout the year we also do fire prevention for daycare centers and anyone coming to tour the fire station. We are always glad when someone comes by so we can show off those big red fire trucks!
The fire station has smoke alarms available for needy residents.
Simply stop by the station and fill out a form in order to get one.
Remember, “Smoke Alarms Save Lives”; make sure yours works!! The department also provides house calls on carbon monoxide alarms.
The Rochester Fire Department specializes in:
- Firefighting suppression
- Auto extrication
- First responder calls using the BLS Rescue Truck
The department uses a Scott’s hand held thermal camera with transmitter; the receiver is in the rescue truck hooked to TV/VCR. Our rescue truck is certified as a non-transport BLS unit. On May 8, 2000, we received an AED (automatic electronic defibrillator) from Rochester Township. We have 14 first responders and are called out to assist the EMS when needed.
