Your Fire Department responds to a vast array of incidents including medical emergencies, fires, fire alarms, motor vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents, and service related calls. The composition of the Fire Department includes thirty-seven budgeted positions. There are thirty-three positions in the Fire Suppression Division, a Fire Inspector, EMS Coordinator, a Fire Chief, and a civilian Executive Secretary. Responses are provided by personnel and equipment from: Station 1, 18300 Beech-Daly; Headquarters-Station 2, 15145 Beech-Daly; and Station 3, 10101 Beech-Daly.

These stations are manned twenty-four hours a day three hundred sixty-five days a year by full time professional firefighters. These firefighters are assigned to three platoons that are under the command of three respective Battalion Chiefs, which are State of Michigan certified, at a minimum, as Fire Officer 2. Each of the two Engine and Rescue Squad Companies is under the command of a Lieutenant, which oversees station operations and initial emergency operations. These six Lieutenants, two of which are assigned to each of the three platoons at Station's 1 and 3, are State of Michigan certified, at a minimum, as Fire Officer 1. There are nine Engineers which operate three Fire Engines on their respective platoons, and they are State of Michigan certified, at a minimum, as Fire Pump Operators. All entry level Firefighters must be Paramedic certified and be State of Michigan certified, at a minimum, as Firefighter 2.

Most of your firefighters (31) attained Paramedic licensure levels when our ALS program was implemented over a decade ago, while two attained Specialist licensure levels. Additionally, two have Basic level licensures. For the first time in the history of the Fire Department, the Fire Chief possesses a Basic level of licensure. This exemplifies the Township's commitment to provide Fire Department based Emergency Medical Services quickly, assuring the residents and visitors that they receive the best services possible. Through attrition, the entire Fire Department will achieve its goal of employing 100% Paramedic Certified personnel.

The Fire Prevention Division consists of a Fire Inspector. His responsibilities consist of code enforcement, plan review, cause and origin, fire safety, fire safety education and consulting. This division is located at 15145 Beech Daly (Point-to-Point Driving Directions) and can be contacted at 313-387-2638 or on line at fireinspector@redfordtwp.com.
