How do the Traverse City Firefighters spend their days? Are they just sitting around waiting for emergencies?
Remember, the TCFD responds to far more than fires. The fire department responds to medical emergencies, they go on hazardous materials responses and all types of rescues. They even assist city residents and businesses to stop property loss after a ruptured pipe or water leak. In addition to responding to over 2500 calls per year, the fire department keeps busy with many other activities. When not responding to emergencies you may find us testing hose, testing our fire trucks, taking training classes (over 12,500 cumulative hours in 2007), cleaning the fire stations, washing the fire trucks or out conducting fire prevention activities in the 8 elementary and one high school we protect.
