The York Fire Department protects the southern half of the Town of York,
consisting of the imediate York Village area as well as York Harbor, Rt.
91 areas, I-95 and the waters of The Atlantic Ocean. The department is
made up of three Full Time Firefighter/EMTs that work a 24 hour shift
each, keeping the station staffed around the clock with one person. Their
duties include regular station and equipment maintenance, fire incident
reporting, public service, and answering emergency calls. The rest of
the Fire Department is made up of approx. 50 volunteer members. These
volunteer members range from Fire Explorers to The Chief of the Department.
Many of the volunteers hold a Firefighter Certificate, EMT License and
Hazardous Materials/Decontamination Certificate. Other skills include
Water Rescue, Fire Investigation, and Advanced Rehabilitation Services.
These volunteers answer calls without any sort of compensation at any
hour of the day, time of year, or type of incident.
All members of the Fire Department train every Thursday night on all aspects
of the fire service. Those firefighters who attend a minimum of 35 hours
of training within a six month period recieve a small stipend from the
Town of York.
The York Fire Department responds on a wide range of incidents including
EMS calls, Building Fires, Fire Alarm Activations, Water Rescue Emergencies,
Brush and Wildland Fires, Hazardous Materials Incidents, Motor Vehicle
Accidents, Weather Related Emergencies and many out of town emergencies.
The York Fire Department runs on a mutual aid agreement with the surrounding
towns on all major incidents. As well as going out of town, the York Fire
Department is on an Automatic Response System with the York Beach Fire
Department. This means that any reported Building Fire or incident at
any one of the four schools and the York Hospital, both Fire Departments
respond.
