About Hutchinson Fire Dept.:
Hutchinson Fire Dept. proudly protects 16000 people living in an area of 180 square miles. We operate out of 1 station that protects a primarily residential area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a paid on call status. Our department was formed over 125 years ago and currently employes 40 paid-on-call fire fighters. We provide fire and rescue protection to an area that covers over 180 square miles with nearly 16,000 residents, 2 very large manufacturing companies and hundreds of smaller business and farms. Our department responds to an average of 350+ calls for assistance each year. We currently do not respond to medicals unless requested by the local ambulance crew for help. Our equipment line-up includes: 3 pumpers, one 100' ladder truck, two 3,000 gallon tankers, one rescue/personnel carier, one grass rig, two rescue boats and a Haz-mat trailer. We also carry a full compliment of Hurst rescue tools on two of our trucks. We are the only fire department in the State of Minnesota that is licensed to teach NFPA 1403 standards, first responder and EMT classes. We are currently in the process of justifying (with the city) a full- time fire chief and two full-time firefighters.
