North Fire Station
The North Fire Station is staffed 24 hours a day by 1 Lieutenant and 2 Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) - assigned to Engine 3 and Ambulance 3 (A-3) to perform fire fighting, rescue, emergency medical response, and inspectional services.
The staffing at the North Fire Station provides for either a fire engine or an ambulance, but not both at the same time. In the event of a fire or medical emergency in the north part of Town, Engine 3 responds with the Lieutenant and two Firefighters/EMTs to the scene. The ambulance stationed at the Center Fire Station (A-1) responds as the primary ambulance. Engine 3's staff provides basic life support to the patient until the ambulance arrives on the scene.
If the primary ambulance (A-1) is transporting a patient to the hospital and a second call is received for an ambulance need, the two Firefighters/EMTs from the South Fire Station responded to the medical emergency with the secondary ambulance (A-3). Utilizing the secondary ambulance places the fire engine at the North Station out-of-service until the ambulance returns to quarters; however, the lieutenant assigned to the station will respond in a fire department vehicle to provide size-up, command and control, medical aid, and scene preparation for additional units that will be simultaneously dispatched with him/her to the emergency.
