About Us
HAZMAT
The Village of Merton Fire Department is equipped to handle basic Hydrocarbon type Hazardous Materials Incidents and is covered by City Of Waukesha Fire Department Haz-Mat Team for Level “B” responses and City of Milwaukee Fire Department for Level “A” responses. The Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), which provides rescue capabilities for trapped Firefighters, is provided by Western Waukesha County Rapid Intervention Team (WWCRIT), and Richfield Fire Department as a back-up.
Fire Safety & Prevention
We have full firefighting capabilities using the latest techniques and equipment including Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS). CAFS enhances fire knock down by up to 700% more effectively than water alone, while greatly reducing water damage to property.
Rescue & EMS
We provide full Emergency Medical Services including a tiered Paramedic Level Response utilizing the Lisbon Fire Department Paramedics. Through a generous donation from Oconomowoc Memorial and Waukesha Memorial Hospital Foundations, we can now perform 12 lead EKG’s and transmit the information to the Hospital where the patient is being transported. This greatly reduces the time for the cardiac patient to receive definitive treatment.
Fire Inspection
VMFD does fire inspections annually for the businesses in our response area in the town and village.
Fire Control
Village of Merton Fire Department is a municipal part time and paid on call Department that serves the Village and Town of Merton. We operate out of Station One in Merton, WI.
