Tiffin Fire/Rescue Division

Mission Statement:

The Mission of the Tiffin Fire/Rescue Division is to protect life and property through dedicated and professional fire and EMS services.

About Us:

Since 1894, the Tiffin Fire Department has provided full-time protection to the City of Tiffin, evolving into the Fire/Rescue Division in 1997 with the merger of EMS. Our team consists of paramedics, certified fire safety inspectors, Haz-Mat Technicians, and experts in technical rescue disciplines. We operate from two stations: Station 1, in downtown, houses an engine, a 100’ platform ladder truck, three ambulances, and our administrative offices. Station 2, located between two major industrial areas, is equipped with a 75’ quint, an ambulance, and a reserve engine.

The Tiffin Fire/Rescue Division stands out for its unwavering commitment to its personnel, fostering a culture of growth, wellness, and innovation. Through comprehensive wellness programs, access to cutting-edge external training opportunities, and a responsive chain of command that actively encourages fresh ideas, we ensure our team is always equipped with the latest tools and knowledge. Our proactive approach ensures that our practices remain ahead of the curve, adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of emergency services. In 2019, we earned a Class 2 ISO rating, and in 2024, we expect to exceed 3,700 calls for service.

Beyond the workplace, Tiffin and Seneca County offer a uniquely appealing lifestyle, with a low cost of living complemented by a vibrant array of activities, events, and opportunities for residents to enjoy year-round. Tiffin, with a population of around 18,000, is home to two universities, is growing with new retail and commercial businesses, and offers a variety of recreational activities in a vibrant community atmosphere. The Tiffin Fire/Rescue Division proudly honors its rich history while embracing the demands of modern fire service.
