The City of Allen Park
* Fire Department *

The Allen Park Fire Department provides an emergency based Advanced Life Support rescue service.  This system is designed to provide fast competent medical service for medical emergencies. Fire Department rescue services are not intended for general patient transportation for non-emergency medical needs.  

The Allen Park Fire Department is staffed with highly trained paramedics.  The paramedic level allows the firefighters to perform many of the needed treatments, fluids and drugs in the pre-hospital that can save lives.  We can provide cardiac drugs on scene to attempt most of the resuscitation efforts usually reserved for Hospital Emergency Room Staff. We can provide needed medication to people having Diabetic reactions and often arrest the medical emergency without transportation to a hospital. We work in constant communication with our medical control to provide the highest level of pre-hospital emergency care for people suffering from a medical emergency. 

The Allen Park Fire Department is equipped with some of the best extrication equipment to remove accident victims from their vehicle following a serious accident.  This truck pictured above carries the jaws of life, power cutters, power ram rods, Vetter bags for lifting, a foam induction system with a separate foam tank and various hand and cordless power tools.  The City of Allen Park has three major highways that pass through it.  We have M39 (Southfield Freeway), Interstate 94 a major east west highway and Interstate 75 a major north south interstate highway within our jurisdiction.  We have utilized this valuable equipment and this fire truck many times in assisting people who have accidents in these high-speed types of collisions.
