January 2022 EMFT Run Statistics
January started off the year with a very busy month for East Madison Fire Territory. EMFT had 205 calls for service in our first month as the new territory. “It’s exciting to see the territory come together and for us to be able to provide this new level of care to everyone in Richland and Union Township” said Chief Burrows.
#EastMadisonFire is always recruiting firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics, Emergency Divers, Hazardous Materials personnel and more.
Two stations become one department
A historic event occurred on January 1, 2022, as the members of two CUTFD and RTFD were sworn in as staff of the newly formed East Madison Fire Territory. The two departments have been training together for months, and the transition to the new territory is an exciting time. The larger staff and wider knowledge base provide training opportunities in a variety of technical rescue capabilities, such as dive, ice, and rope rescue, as well as staffing the regional HazMat response team.
With the potential for over 2500 runs in 2022, EMFT is building a dynamic team, focused on providing excellent fire, rescue, and EMS response for our entire coverage area, as well as providing mutual aid response for surrounding departments. Now is the time to get in on the ground floor by applying for fire, EMS, cadet or support positions. Join us as we build EMFT’s future!
