Services Provided The Rochester Fire Department specializes
in firefighting suppression, auto extrication, and first responder calls using the BLS Rescue Truck. The department uses a Scott's hand held thermal camera with transmitter; the
receiver is in the rescue truck hooked to TV/VCR. Our rescue
truck is certified as a non-transport BLS unit. On May 8, 2000, we received an AED (automatic electronic defibulator) from Rochester
Township . We have 14 first responders and are called out to assist the
hospital when needed. Fire Prevention Program The Rochester
Fire Department prides itself in its fire prevention program. We do a fire prevention program in the schools K-3 during
the month of October during National Fire Prevention Week. Throughout the year we also do fire prevention for daycare
centers and anyone coming to tour the fire station. We are always glad when someone comes by so we can show off those
big red fire trucks! Smoke Alarm Program The fire station has smoke alarms available for needy residents. Simply stop by the station and
fill out a form in order to get one. Remember, "Smoke Alarms Save Lives"; make sure yours works!! The department also provides house calls
on carbon monoxide alarms.
