Frederic Township Fire Department Specialized Rescue

An important aspect and benefit to having an All Rescue Fire Department that provides Emergency Medical Services is the Rescue capabilities that would otherwise be unavailable with private EMS agencies. Here at Frederic Fire Department we have the equipment and knowledge to perform rescue operations such as:

  • Vehicle Extrication with a vehicle stabilization system 

  • ORV Rescue

  • Snowmobile Rescue

  • Basic Search & Rescue

  • Downed Aircraft Rescue

  • Farm Medic, which enables us to respond to emergencies involving farming equipment that our traditional methods of extrication will not work on.

  • Water Rescue


Our Rescue Response Vehicles include: 
Boat 1 - Used in Open Water Rescue
ORV 1 - Used in Off Road Rescue, Rescue Sled attached for patient rescue
Snow 1 & Snow 2 - Used in Snowmobile Rescue, Rescue Sled attached for patient rescue

Our department members show great interest in furthering their training, knowledge, and preparedness to handle any emergency. It is because of our training and safety expectation that we have Firefighter EMT’s that are capable of participating and performing  with other local agencies through mutual aid agreements in the areas of:

·         High Angle Rescue

·         Swift Water Rescue

·         Open Water Rescue

·         Ice Rescue

This enables our Firefighter EMT’s on scene to perform immediate assessments and make interventions that will improve a victim’s outcome. In addition we have staff capable of participating and acting as a Technical Consultant in Confined Space Search and Rescue. Our department is dedicated to furthering the education, training, and prepardness that our residents deserve. As further evidence of this we have employees that have traveled out of state to receive training in infectious diseases and HAZMAT Operations at no cost to the residents of Frederic and Maple Forest Townships. 

Frederic Township Fire Department finds the most valuable tool in any situation to be the depth of each individuals education and training, especailly in an emergency.
