  • National Fire Prevention Week - October 7-13, 2012

     If you woke up to a fire in your home, how much time do you think you would have to get to safety?  According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one-third of Americans households who made and estimate they thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. Unfortunately, the time available is often less. 

    That’s why Fort Wayne Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA during Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13, 2012, to urge residents to “Have Two Ways Out!” This year’s theme focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.

    In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to 369,500 home structure fires. These fires caused 13,350 civilian injuries, 2,640 civilian deaths, and $6.9 billion in direct damage.

     “One home structure was reported every 85 seconds in 2010,” says Captain Dave Meadows of the Fort Wayne Fire Department. “Fire is unpredictable and moves faster than most people realize.  Having a tried and true escape plan with two ways is essential to ensuring your family’s safety should fire break out in your home.” 

    The Fort Wayne Fire Department recommends the following tips for planning your family’s escape:

    • Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room.
    • Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan.
    • Write the emergency telephone number for the fire department on your escape plan.
    • Have a grown-up sound the smoke alarm and practice your escape plan with everyone living in your home.
    • Keep your escape plan on the refrigerator and remind grown-ups to have your family practice the plan twice a year or whenever anyone in your home celebrates a birthday.

    The Fort Wayne Fire Department will be hosting activities during Fire Prevention Week  to promote “Have Two Ways Out!”  Open Houses from 6-8 p.m. at the following stations provide  educational, family-oriented activities, where residents can learn more about the importance of fire escape planning and practice, as well as the power of prevention.

    Monday, October 8, 2012 - FWFD Station 14 (3400 Reed Rd.)

  • FWFD Puts First Quint In Service

     New_Quint_Inservice

    A historical moment for the Fort Wayne Fire Department (FWFD) will take place on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at Station 14 (3400 Reed Road).  Beginning at 10 a.m. community leaders and staff will “push in service” FWFD’s new apparatus-Quint 14, and retire the present truck and engine.

    A tradition dating back to the early 1900’s of the fire department, the Engine and Truck will be retired and driven away making room for the new apparatus.  The new Quint will be “wet down” down by staff of Station14, and pushed into the apparatus bay indicating its “In Service” status.  A short traditional blessing wishing the Quint, and those assigned to her a safe journey and the skills necessary to provide the best possible service to the visitors and the citizens of the City of Fort Wayne quintwill be given.

    “While the design and building of the Quint has been a long process, the FWFD is thrilled to be putting the new Quint in service,” Deputy Chief Eric Lahey says.  “This is a historical moment for the department, the crew and citizens it will serve.”

    The apparatus committee, appointed by Deputy Chief Lahey, began the design of a Quint about a year ago.  Once Pierce was chosen as the manufacturer, the process of building the truck took approximately six months.

    FWFD recently took delivery of the new Pierce Quint.  The name Quint comes from the five functions the truck brings to the scene: pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device, and ground ladders.  While the “Quint concept” is not new, it is new to the Fort Wayne Fire Department.  

    “Quint 14 is the first apparatus of its kind in Fort Wayne,” Lahey says.  “The new technology and features this rig affords both staff and citizens is unparallel to any single apparatus out there.”

    A unique feature of the new Quint 14 is the exterior finish.  While it has the same white-over-red paint as the rest of the FWFD fleet, the decals and striping are truly one-of-a-kind.  During the design phase of construction, the crews at Station 14 were given the opportunity make it their own.  Located across from Snider High School, Station 14 has adopted the black and gold panther logo as it’s mascot.  Quint 14 features Snider-themed striping and lettering, as well as a panther emblem on its’ cab. 

    Lahey adds, “It is our hope the new Quint instills pride and ownership in the neighbors and citizens Station 14 serves every day.”

    FWFD will host a Halloween Open House on Sunday at Station 14.  From 1-3 p.m. the Fort Wayne community is invited to tour the station and see the new Quint.  Safety Village personnel will also be on hand to help wrap-up Fire Safety month.  This will be a fun and exciting way to kick-off Halloween festivities.

  • 2010 LODD Memorial

These presentations were unprecedented and meant to express the commitment of the organizations to the memory of our fallen heroes.

A marble slate with the names of the fallen firefighters was just recently placed in time for the ceremony. The law enforcement marble slate is expected to be finished soon.

     

    The event was well attended by many of the Allen County Fire Departments. We thank all those who attended and assisted with another succesful memorial ceremony for those Allen County firefighters who gave the utltimate sacrifice to their community.
