The North Fire Station is staffed 24 hours a day by:
1 Lieutenant and 2 Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) - assigned to Engine 3 and Ambulance 3 (A-3) to perform fire fighting, rescue, emergency medical response, and inspectional services.
The staffing at the North Fire Station provides for either a fire engine or an ambulance, but not both at the same time. In the event of a fire or medical emergency in the north part of Town, Engine 3 responds with the Lieutenant and two Firefighter/EMTs to the scene. The ambulance stationed at the the Center Fire Station (A-1) responds as the primary ambulance. Engine 3's staff provides basic life support to the patient until the ambulance arrives on scene.
If the primary ambulance (A-1) is transporting a patient to the hospital and a second call is received for an ambulance need, the two Firefighter/EMTs from the North Fire Station respond to the medical emergency with the secondary ambulance (A-3). Utilizing the secondary ambulance places the fire engine at the North Station out-of-service until the ambulance returns to quarters.
Our primary concern is to provide the maximum service possible to the residents of Tewksbury; maintaining fire protection and ambulance service whenever possible.
Engine 3 is a 1994 E-One Hush Pumper.
