The goal of the Muscatine Fire Department is to immediately respond
to all structural fires with 2 engines, the aerial truck, and 1
ambulance. It is our duty to confine, and extinguish fires, to
immediately respond to and provide coordination and rescue during
natural or man made disasters, and to immediately respond to and
assist the public in non-emergency situations. In the event a fire
or other type of emergency has reached the magnitude beyond the
capabilities of the on duty shift, off duty personal are called
in to help and maybe even the calling in of other area fire departments.
In these situations the fire fighters of the Muscatine Fire Department
follow our Incident Command System to make sure all efforts and
actions performed at the emergency run as smoothly as possible.
We also use salvage and overhaul at fires if at all possible in
an attempt to reduce anymore damage to items involved in a fire
or other emergency.
