The City of
Austell maintains an independent Fire Department to provide a
rapid response in case of fire or emergency for its 6,000
citizens and businesses. Our Fire Department is noted for
having one of the fastest response times in the state, and
because of their commitment, the City of Austell has an
Insurance Service Organization (ISO) rating of 4 which reduces
insurance premiums for residential and business property.
Our Fire
Department has two separate locations. Station Number 1,
located at 5890 Mulberry Street, has served the City for many
years and Fire Station Number 2, located at 5300
Austell-Powder Springs Road, opened in July 2003. Each
station responds with a Class 1 Advanced Life Support Fire
Engine on all calls. Each facility is fully staffed and
available for emergency response 24 hours each day, 7 days a
week.
Chief Tim
Williams and Assistant Fire Chief Pat Maxwell direct the
activities of 20 full-time and 14 part-time firefighters. The
Department responds to approximately 1,200 calls each year,
and we estimate that 80% of the calls are related to medical
emergencies. In addition to providing Emergency Medical
Services (EMS), our Firefighters handle fire suppression,
hazardous materials, heavy extrication, and search and rescue
related emergencies.
The Department
provides administrative services to the community. These
services include fire education and prevention programs,
reviewing construction plans, field fire/safety inspections,
enforcing fire codes, department training programs as well as
criminal investigation and prosecution related to suspected
arson.
