The Portage Fire Department has a variety of specialty teams that are designed to meet the unique demands of the community. These teams include tactical paramedics, fire investigation, rescue dive team, and honor guard. Each team is specially trained and equipped to handle the specific needs of the community.
Tactical paramedics provide medical assistance during high-risk situations such as active shooter incidents or hostage situations. The fire investigation team is responsible for determining the cause and origin of fires, while the rescue dive team specializes in underwater search and rescue operations. Finally, the honor guard provides ceremonial services at funerals and other special events.
Our MSA team ensures our firefighters are using safe equipment while responding to a fire. Our instructors work hard to provide the needed continuing education for the staff. As building construction vehicles and technology changes, so does the training our staff needs to provide appropriate care to our citizens.
These specialty teams are essential for providing a safe environment for citizens in Portage. They are highly trained professionals who are dedicated to protecting life and property in their community.
