Fire Safety House

The Ferndale Fire Safety House was purchased in 2001 through grants and business donations and has educated hundreds of Ferndale citizens and citizens in neighboring communities. Our Fire Safety House contained the first tornado preparedness package in the state of Michigan. The Fire Safety House has a smoke simulator and heated door and teaches bedroom window escape as well as kitchen and bedroom safety. The Fire Safety House is on display and available for tours at the Bike Rodeo held in June each year. The Fire Safety House can also be rented. For more information, please call Fire Headquarters at (248) 546-2510.

Horton Rescue Unit

The 2008 Horton Rescue Unit was placed in service on February 14, 2008. This unit is an upgrade from previous rescues as we went from a light duty to a medium duty truck. The greatest benefit of this upgrade is increased safety, both for the patients and the firefighters. The larger vehicle affords much better protection in accident situations. Included in the safety features are two seats equipped with a five-point harness that protect the firefighter/medics. Another obvious improvement is more patient compartment room and more storage capability for equipment and supplies.
