Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department Information

TMFD continues to grow not only in membership but responsibility and coverage. Currently, TMFD consists of close to 70 volunteer firefighters, 14 career firefighters and a very active Explorer Post for teenagers. TMFD’s apparatus includes an aerial ladder truck (Ladder 19), three engines (Engines 51, 37 & 36), 2 rescue vehicles (Rescues 6 & 46), 3 chief’s cars and an inflatable, gas-powered boat. The department’s members train and drill throughout the year on such diverse subjects as fire attack techniques, auto accident victim extrications, response to hazardous material and weapons of mass destruction situations, water and ice rescue. Several members are certified in advanced confined space rescue operations. The department’s ongoing commitment to the best in training, equipment and personnel is reflected in the Fire District’s excellent class rating by the Insurance Service Organization. The types of calls that TMFD responds to run the gamut from the traditional fire calls (structure fires, car fires, automatic alarms, suspicious/burning odors, gas leaks) to auto accidents requiring victim extrication using the “jaws of life,” to EMS calls and downed power lines. The Fire Department also responds to public assistance calls such as flooding conditions or the homeowner locked out of the house (or a child locked in!).
