Fire Services
Tecumseh Fire Rescue Service provides emergency response to all calls for service including firefighting, rescue, emergency medical intervention (including defibrillation), vehicle extrication and shore-based water rescue. The department services a population of approximately 24,000 providing fire and emergency medical coverage to a 95 square kilometer area and responds to approximately 400 calls per year.
The Fire Department is a volunteer fire service operating out of two stations, each with a complement of 21 volunteer firefighters with various apparatus.
Station 1 is located at 985 Lesperance,
Engine 1 a 2008 Smeal 1050 w/1000 gal tank/AB foam/command lighting/holmatro extrication.
Rescue 1 a 2018 Spartan/Fort Gary w/700 gal tank and various medical, rescue and extrication equipment.
Truck 1 a 2002 Sutphen 1250 gpm Waterous pump 70 foot quint/aerial platform, Foam-Pro Proportioner all-around.
while Station 2 is located at 5520 Walker Road.
Engine 2 is a 2010 Smeal 1050 gpm Waterous Eclipse CAFS Engine with a 1000 gallon water tank. Engine 2 is identical to Engine 1 except that it has the additional benefits of an Advantis 6 - 200 cfm compressed air foam system. A four point 9000 pound winch, and a portable Holmatro 10,000 psi extrication system have also been added.
The Compressed Air Foam System's advantages effectively extend Engine 2's water supply/fire suppression capability by approximately 500% providing almost 30 minutes application of Class A compressed air foam. The addition of Holmatro extrication equipment and a heavy winch now provides this engine with a complete vehicle extrication capability, similar to the department's other engine and rescue companies.
Rescue 2 is a 2006 Rosenbauer Engine/Rescue/Tanker with a rear-mount 1050 gpm Waterous pump, Foam-Pro all-around, 1000 gallons of water and 80 gallons of AAAF. A 4-head Command light and Hurst Dual-head extrication capability complete the unit.
Squad 2 is a 2008 Ford V-10 equipped (4x4) F-250 Brush truck w/100 gallon of water/foam concentrate. The truck is modular in design and has multiple slide-on containers that can carry additional equipment for air supply, extrication cribbing and extrication equipment. Squad 2 is the first response vehicle for emergency medical calls and, like all Tecumseh Fire Units, defibrillator and first aid equipped.
