WHO WE ARE
The Mariemont Fire Department offers a full-time firefighting and paramedic service for the residents of the Village of Mariemont. We are one of only three departments in Hamilton County to have earned a Class 3 ISO Rating.
The Mariemont Fire and EMS staff has up of five full-time career firefighter/paramedics. We also have part-time and volunteer personnel. All personnel are cross-trained in multiple areas. EMT’s and Paramedics are all trained as firefighters. All personal are trained as fire safety inspectors, hazardous materials technicians, and basic rescue and water rescue technicians. Some staff members are also trained as Public Safety Instructors, Certified Child Safety Seat Inspectors, CPR Instructors (certified through the American Heart Association) and Certified Fire Investigators (certified through the State of Ohio). All personnel must complete a mandatory four to six hours of continuing education each year. Additionally, our staff is thoroughly trained in Disaster Management, Community Fire Defense Planning and Medical Disaster Service.
HOW WE WORK
The Mariemont Fire Department work schedule is based on a three-unit concept. Full-time fire and EMS personnel work a 24-hour shift and are then off work for the next 48 hours. Part-time personnel work either a 12 or 24-hour shift. A full-time officer manages each shift. The normal staff for any 24-hour period is made up of 4 people.
WHAT WE DO
In addition to responding to emergency calls, the Mariemont Fire Department offers many services designed to keep our community safe, promote fire safety awareness and enhance public relations.
In helping to ensure the safety of our community, the Mariemont Fire Department has a Village Disaster Evacuation Plan and an Emergency Operation Plan, both of which have been certified by the Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency. All equipment is consistently checked and maintained to ensure it will be fully operational when an emergency arises.
We have several programs to teach residents about fire safety and help them be better prepared for emergencies. These programs also give you a chance to get to know your Fire Department a little better and for us to get to know you.
For instance, each October, we participate in the Fire Prevention Week program. During this time, the Fire Department goes to schools to teach fire prevention and safety. At the end of the week, we have an Open House and Fire Expo at the Fire Station, giving everyone the opportunity to see a firefighting demonstration, experience what it’s like to be in a smoke-filled structure, and interact with paramedics as they explain the equipment they use. There are always plenty of refreshments, too!
As another part of our community relations program, we offer free smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and batteries for these important, lifesaving devices to all residents. For more details or to request any of these items, call us at 271-4089 or stop by the Fire Station.
We also offer free CPR classes, blood pressure checks, child safety seat installation and inspections, and fire safety inspections for your home. To schedule an appointment for any of these services, please contact us at 271-4089.
The Fire Department can also provide residents with information about a program called “Shelter-In-Place”. Just give us a call for more details.
For our younger residents, we are always available for tours of our Fire Station and the equipment. We would be happy to bring a fire truck to a child’s party or a block party. Contact us to let us know if you would like us at your next event.
