From the Chief's Office
Welcome to the Richmond Fire Department
Website. I am pleased to make this site available to share information about
Richmond Fire, its personnel and functions, and our mission in the community.
In this space I will offer information, suggestions and safety measures that
can help you increase the chance that your family will survive a fire or
life-threatening emergency.
In addition, I will provide information on
fire department and city programs, policies and procedures that affect our
citizens and rural customers. At Richmond Fire we take the service we provide
very seriously, and will carefully consider any feedback that is given through
this site. So I hope that this will be another opportunity for communication
between the fire department and the community. You can e-mail me directly from
here at chief@richmondmofire.com
The mission of the Richmond
Fire Department is to protect the lives and property of the citizens of the
City of Richmond and the surrounding area. It is the goal of each member of the
fire department to take the necessary steps when presented with an emergency to
render the situation safe.
Protecting the community
since 1899, the Richmond Fire Department uses the latest in fire suppression
and emergency medical technology to protect its citizens.
The department is comprised
of nine career and 16 volunteer firefighters. Career firefighters participate
in fire and medical training from local, state and national training entities.
Volunteer firefighters bring a wealth of knowledge and abilities form their
individual fields that allow the department to professionally and efficiently
deal with situations ranging from hazardous materials, medical emergencies and
fires to structural collapse and hazardous rescues.
In total, the Richmond Fire
Department operates three pumpers, two brush trucks, a rescue unit, a 3500 gallon
tanker and an 85 foot aerial apparatus. Also the department incorporates a fire
safety trailer for the delivery of fire prevention training throughout the
year.
The Richmond Fire Department
has the equipment and ability to execute many types of rescues, from auto
extrication with the Hurst Tool to cardiac resuscitation with automatic
external defibrillators. Although small in size, the Richmond Fire Department
continues to have the skills and technology to serve the needs of the Richmond
community.
