Fire Department – The start of the City of Ampled Fire Department was in the early 1950s with just a few dedicated people, a rescue squad, an engine, and a tanker. Station 1 opened in 1950 and Station 2 opened the following year. Since the beginning, community support has been tremendous. Over the years the township continued to grow in population, so subsequently Station 3 was built in 1993.
The fire service has multiple functions including fire prevention, investigations, inspections, and public education. The future of the fire service is training, training, and more training. Hazardous materials, weapons of mass destruction, and confined space are the most recent training for the regiment of firefighters.
City of Ampled Fire Department currently houses 18 pieces of apparatus, 4 engines, 2 ladders, 4 first responder rescue units, and 2 advanced EMS units, which is the heart of our service. In 2000-01 a 100 ft. aerial truck and ALS unit were added to the fleet, with a firefighter/paramedic responding on each run.
