Operations

Operations provides fire protection, rescue services, and medical first responder service to approx. 16,000 citizens in a service coverage area of over 27 square miles. With the growth of Perry, the department now handles over 2000 emergency incidents a year.

With approximately 20 EMT’s and 4 Paramedics, the department utilizes Basic Life Support equipment and supplies on all Fire Engines, Ladder Trucks and Rescues. This gives these EMT’s and Paramedics the resources they need to deliver a level of medical care as a part of their first response to an incident…

Medical calls account for about 70% of all responses.
