Welcome to the Wauseon Fire Department's website! We hope you enjoy your virtual tour of our
department.
The Wauseon Fire Department is headed up by a full-time chief and operates with approximately
fifty volunteers at any given time. All personnel are trained to the 36 hour volunteer firefighter
level and most have advanced to the 120 or 240 hour level. Additionally, most members hold Basic
EMT certification or higher. Countless hours are spent each year on training and continuing
education to ensure skills are kept up-to-date. Our response area is approximately 95 square miles
and includes the City of Wauseon, Clinton Township, and portions of York, Pike, Dover, and
Chesterfield Townships. We also provide mutual aid to all surrounding departments.
All Fulton County fire departments are dispatched by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office on the
frequency of 154.310. 911 calls enter the Sheriff's Office via an Enhanced 911 System. This
provides dispatchers with the name, address, and telephone number of the caller. Click on the link
above to meet the dispatchers and view pictures of the communications center.
Wauseon Fire Department, along with Archbold, Delta, and Swanton Fire Departments, operate a
full-time Advanced Life Support ambulance. These ambulances are staffed by a Paramedic and an
EMT 24/7. They respond along with a Basic Life Support ambulance to all calls. We are also
fortunate enough to have one of Mercy Health Partners Life Flight helicopters and a ground unit,
Mobile Life, based in the county. Life Flight 2 is based at the Fulton County Airport and Mobile
Life 3 is based at the Fulton County Health Center. Both are available at a moments notice.
In January of 2004, The Wauseon City Council approved the implementation of part-time
firefighters. Two firefighters now staff the station, along with the chief, Monday through Friday
from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. When not responding to calls, they are responsible for routine station
maintenance, inspection of apparatus, and assisting the fire chief with day to day duties.
Wauseon Fire Department is dedicated to serving the needs of the public in any way possible.
Station tours and speaking engagements are always welcome. Yearly, during Fire Safety Week, we
attend fire drills at all schools in our response area. We also hand out free smoke detectors to all
first grade students during Fire Safety Week. Anything we can do to be of service to you, please do
not hesitate to let us know.
Again, We hope you enjoy your virtual tour of our department.
