Barlow VFD was established in 1947 as a Volunteer Fire Department. The original piece of fire equipment was a 250 gallon trailer with a portable fire pump and miscellaneous hose and nozzles. The first member to arrive at the fire station connected the trailer to his personal vehicle. |
|
Barlow VFD has upgraded its fire response equipment over the years. Currently the fleet includes: |
|
- 2003 Pierce Contender CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) engine with a 1250 GPM pump and 1000 gallons of water. This rescue engine carries rescue/extrication tools as well as fire fighting equipment.
|
- 1998 Pierce Contender pumper equipped with Class A foam. It has a 1250 GPM pump with 1000 gallons of water.
|
- 1983 Quality Fire tanker/pumper. It is equipped with a 500 GPM PTO pump and carries 1600 gallons of water.
|
|
Barlow VFD added EMS services in 1978, and currently operates two ambulances in a combination BLS/ALS service. |
|
In 2008 Barlow VFD responded to 71 fire responses and 235 EMS calls. |
|
| Contacting the Fire Department |
As a reminder to our residents, it is most important that all calls for emergency assistance be placed through the 9-1-1 system. Dialing 9-1-1 connects the caller directly to an Emergency Dispatcher who will notify the appropriate Fire and EMS units for your area. The business number for the Fire Department (740-678-2413) should only be used for non-emergency purposes. |
| |
| The best rule to follow is if you require Fire or EMS assistance please dial 9-1-1. Thank you. |
