Emergency Medical Services
The York Beach Fire Department is staffed with full-time and volunteer Firefighter/EMT's that are trained at the Basic Level. These firefighters work with York Ambulance in all emergency medical calls in the York Beach Fire District. Rescue 1 and Rescue 3 are stocked with an assortment of medical gear to assist in stabilizing a patient.
Vehicle Extrication and Rescue
Rescue 1 carries a small combination spreader/cutter extrication tool. With this tool we can extricate a patient who is trapped in vehicle.
Salvage & Loss Prevention
The York Beach Fire Department responds to a large number of incidents not involving fire or medical emergencies. Water can destroy almost everything in a home if not contained quickly. Durring the winter months when frozen pipes lead to water leaks, the York Beach Fire Department assists the public with stoping the leak and covering up personal items with tarps.
