2015 Annual Report • Fire Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 | Page <br /> <br />I. Fire Department <br />Commitment to community and to public service is something that you will find to be a <br />common tie among the members of your fire department. A drive towards serving others and to <br />make a difference big or small is a motivator for them. Doing that takes a lot of dedication and <br />sacrifice on many levels from both our firefighters as well as their families. With the highest <br />calls for service in our history, 2015 tested both the dedication of our members and their <br />families and I am very proud to say that we met that challenge head-on. <br />The St. Anthony Fire Department is a combination paid on-call and full-time department <br />working out of one station. To provide an immediate response, 24-hours a day, the department <br />is made up of seven full-time personnel and 21 paid on-call personnel. The Fire Department <br />provides fire suppression, emergency response at the EMT level and hazardous materials <br />response at the operations level. The Fire Department also provides code inspection and <br />enforcement, fire prevention and education, administers the City’s disaster response programs <br />and the City Code Enforcement program. <br />Fire Department apparatus consist of two 1250 GPM pumpers, a 1500 pumper, a step van, a <br />rescue response truck and a staff automobile for administrative response use. Specialized <br />equipment includes automatic defibrillators, Lucas 2 device, hydraulic rescue tools (jaws of life) <br />and a mobile air cascade system.
