Welcome to the website for the Glendale Fire Department. We're developing this valuable tool to provide information to our citizens about fire safety and services that our organization provides. Check back here often at www.glendalefd.com for special announcments, pictures, and activities.
The Glendale Fire Department periodically hosts Ready in 3 classes. This one hour class is a resource to help citizens to prepare for numerous types of emergencies such as earthquakes, tornadoes, or even man-made disasters.
For citizens interested in taking a more active role in disaster preparedness in the community, the Glendale Fire Department will also be hosting CERT classes. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
Glendale Fire will be holding a CERT class on October 21, 23, 28, 30 and November 1.
For more information on attending these classes, please contact Captain Chuck Helle at 314-965-7097.
Chief Zeitzmann, Capt. Helle, and Capt. Siebert from Glendale FD, along with Engineer Straatman from Kirkwood FD taught a class titled Saving Ourselves on June 7 and 8, 2008. The class was held at University of Missouri's Summer Fire School, in Jefferson City.
The class was taught to numerous firefighters throughout the state of Missouri. The class was designed to help show the need for Rapid Intervention Teams (Teams designed to rescue downed firefighters), self-survival methods and basic procedures to set up and perform as teams on a fire incident.
