WELCOME TO NORTH PARK FIRE DEPARTMENT
The North Park Fire Department is a member of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Division 8 along with 23 other area fire departments, providing apparatus and personnel during large-scale emergencies.
The North Park Fire Department is comprised of approximately 50 personnel including one full-time fire chief, four full-time paramedics, a part-time administrative assistant, and a combination of part-time and volunteer firefighters and EMTs. The district is served by one centralized fire station housing a total of three front-line engines, one aerial truck, two squads, one utility vehicle, three command vehicles, two Advanced Life Support ambulances and one boat.
We need to thank another local vendor for their generosity!
In the photo is what's called a "RIT bag," which contains breathing air and equipment to assist in rescuing a trapped or injured firefighter in a burning structure. Without getting too deep into what we do with it, this kit essentially acts as a lifeline if we need to rescue one of our own. Like everything in the fire service, these bags are expensive, but built pretty tough to withstand being drug through all kinds of debris and obstacles.
This bag was recently damaged during a training evolution, and instead of needing to spend money buying a new bag, Blake Awning and Flag Company was able to repair the torn seams and refused to take payment. This isn't the first time the Blake family has taken care of us, but we appreciate it every time. Thanks so much for your generosity! There's definitely a reason they've been in business since 1889.

We'd like to take a second to thank Total Plumbing & Heating, LTD for coming to our aid this afternoon with their sewer drain camera to inspect the plumbing on one of our engines. Due to a failed check valve, a piece of metal debris was either pushed into the rig's water tank (not so horrible) or was in the plumbing going into the intake of the pump's impeller (could have been horrible/catastrophic). Thankfully the piece was NOT in the plumbing going to the pump impeller.
Their generosity saved a great deal time of time and labor to determine where the piece ended up. THANK YOU!

That's awesome Paul and total plumbing are awesome.
Congratulations to North Park Fire alumni Ted Berger on your confirmation! Ted served for several years with North Park, ultimately achieving the rank of Deputy Chief. We're proud of all you've accomplished and that we can claim you as one of us.
