Welcome to this week's episode of Heroes Next Door: Station Cribs! Today, we're taking you on an exclusive tour of the Madison Heights Fire Department Headquarters and Training Grounds, located just two miles outside of Detroit, Michigan, in Oakland County.
Join Firefighter Paramedic Tom Levey as he guides us through the comprehensive facilities of this vital department. Our journey begins with a detailed exploration of the administrative side of the department, where the crucial planning and management of fire service operations take place. Tom then leads us into the living quarters, home to nearly 31 firefighters who are stationed here around the clock, every day of the year.
A significant portion of this episode is dedicated to showcasing the daily life and environment of these dedicated firefighters, including the apparatus bay where the essential firefighting vehicles and equipment are housed.
But that's not all - we also step outside to the training facility located directly behind the main station. Here, you'll see a three-story training building designed to simulate a wide array of emergent and fire-related scenarios. This state-of-the-art facility, equipped with specialty gear for hazmat situations, confined space rescue, high angle rescue, and building collapse scenarios, is a testament to the department's commitment to excellence and preparedness. The training grounds even feature an underground portal, allowing the team to train under various challenging conditions.
Throughout the tour, Tom Levey exemplifies the qualities of a community-minded professional. His extensive knowledge, courteous demeanor, and palpable passion for his work are evident in every aspect of the tour.
In this episode, we also delve into the Madison Heights Fire Department's core services and mission. The Fire Statement of Services emphasizes the department's role in protecting life and property, responding to various emergencies with specialized equipment, and providing Advanced Life Support EMS services. The EMS section highlights the department's commitment to offering advanced life support emergency medical services, with 31 licensed paramedics providing pre-hospital emergency care. The department's Mission Statement reaffirms their pledge to offer excellent protection, prevention, and education services for the preservation of life, property, and the environment.
