We also monitor the physical capabilities of our members to do standard firefighting tasks through our annual fire agility test. We participate in continuing education for firefighting, EMS, Fire Investigation, Fire Inspection, Confine Space Training and Grain Bin Rescue. All our Paramedics are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Life Support. We participate in annual Hazmat Technician, CPR, and Emergency Vehicle Operations courses. The Perry Township Fire Department participates and hosts many trainings to further and refresh the training levels of our members. We have a total roster of about 50 members with different training levels, both Fire and EMS.
They also are called upon if we should receive a second EMS call while the manned ambulance is on another assignment. Our paid per call staff is called upon to cover any motor vehicle accidents or fire calls. A second Firefighter Paramedic is on staff from 8 am to 4 pm Monday thru Friday to assist the Fire Chief with office work and be a second responder when necessary.
Our station is manned 24/7 with one full-time Firefighter/Paramedic, whom is partnered with one EMT. The Perry Township Fire Department is currently a combination department of full-time, part-time and paid per call staff.
