Technical Rescue

The Dickinson Fire Department is in the process of developing a Technical Rescue Team.  The Technical Rescue Team is being trained in high angle rope rescue and confined space rescue.

Training Site Under Construction

The Dickinson Fire Department Training Facility is undergoing construction to accommodate oil field live burn props.  The funding for this project has been provided to the City of Dickinson through an Energy Impact Grant and additional funding by legislative appropriations to the North Dakota Association of Oil & Gas Producing Counties.  The completion of the work is scheduled for the end of May.  With this addition we hope that our training facility could become a Regional Training Center for the state of North Dakota.  Here are some pictures of the current work in progress.  We will provide updates as the construction continues.

About the Dickinson Volunteer Fire Department

The Dickinson Volunteer Fire Department is responsible for public education concerning fire and life safety issues, enforcement of the Fire Code, the recruitment and training of volunteer firefighters, fire suppression and hazardous materials incident response, and fire investigation for cause and origin.  Full time staff is also responsible for the procurement and maintenance of all necessary equipment.

The goal of the department is to prevent fires and other emergency incidents by maintaining an aggressive public education and fire code inspection program.  To have a well-trained, well-equipped response team available to mitigate incidents that do happen.  To insure that all equipment is kept in a ready state, whether it is a fire engine or firefighters' personal protective equipment.
