Welcome to Middletown, NY FD
Middletown Fire
Department
was proud to celebrate
its 150th
anniversary
in 2009.
Since 1859,
the
Middletown
Fire

has
efficiently
and
effectively
carried out
its charge
to prevent
and
extinguish
fires and
protect
the lives of
the
residents
and visitors
of our community
and to
preserve
their
property.
The
Department
now
safeguards a
population
of 25,400
people
living
within
Middletown’s
five-mile
square area.
The MFD now
answers well
over a 1,100
calls a
year; these
include
structure
and brush
fires, motor
vehicle
accidents,
emergency
medical
service and
rescue
calls, and a
variety of
public
service
requests
such as
flooded
cellars and,
very
occasionally,
the
legendary
cat in the
tree.

The
average
MFD
response
time for
Middletown
calls is
less
than 4
minutes,
markedly
better
than the
national
average.

also
gives
and
receives
additional
emergency
help and
support
through
mutual
aid
arrangements
with
neighboring
communities.

MFD Safety Tips |
|
We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the following fire safety tips: 1-keep all doors closed when possible. In the event of a fire this will isolate the fire and increase the chance of survivability and minimize damage. 2- If you ever have a fire in your home or place of employment exit the building immediately and do not re-enter for any reason. 3- Maintain working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on all levels of your house and every bedroom. 4- clearly label your house with large reflective numbers easily identified from the street. 5- establish a safe meeting area for your family in the event an incident does occur. We ask that everyone please remind themselves and others of these safety tips it could save your life or the life of a loved one.
