Fillmore Fire Department

 How We Roll

• Regular scheduled meetings are on the second Monday of each month.  Rescue practices are the first Monday and firefighter practices are the third and fourth Mondays. 

• The department is very family-oriented with 45% of the personnel being 2nd or 3rd generation members.  Most often the entire family will help at fundraisers. 

• Our firefighters have been trained for  RIT (Rapid Intervention Team).  The purpose of RIT is to provide rapid rescue to firefighters operating at an emergency scene.

• The Fillmore Fire Department has about 41 members. 21-First Responders, 10 Firefighters, and 9 members are trained in both areas.

• We are simul-paged with Newburg Rescue for all rescue calls where we provide initial patient care until EMT's from Newburg arrive and transport.

• We are trained in the AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) and need to be re-certified every six months. 1st Responder refresher classes are held every two years. We have a water rescue boat with three water suits that can be used for summer or ice rescue.
