Allen Clay JFD responders are dedicated and trained to provide efficient, effective fire suppression services throughout the district.
Part-paid responders are trained on the most current firefighting procedures. All three stations are equipped with fire engines. Station 34 and Station 36 are also equipped with Rescue Engines (Engines with extrication equipment on board.) In total ACJFD has the capability to bring 7,500 gallons of water to extinguish a house fire without using a fire hydrant.
Within the fire district there are both rural water supplies (ponds, streams, creeks, etc.) and areas with hydrants to replenish water supplies.
Mutual aid agreements exist with Lake Township Fire and Rescue, Northwood Fire and Rescue, Jerusalem Township Fire, and Harris Elmore Fire and Rescue for additional resources and assistance.
Heavy Rescue
Allen Clay JFD has three dedicated trucks equipped with Heavy Rescue tools. These tools allow responders to gain access to accident victims trapped inside heavily damaged vehicles. Heavy Rescue tools also help move and stabilize heavy objects that might pin or further injure accident victims.
Fire Prevention
Allen Clay JFD works within the community to prevent fires. Firefighter/EMTs visit area schools and organizations to provide information and resources on how to prevent fires and what to do in an emergency. Once a year, classes from Genoa Area Local Schools visit the main station to talk with the firefighters and learn about fire prevention and response.
