A few numbers worth knowing about your Livonia Firefighter/Medics:
- We average 56 hours on duty per week. Neighboring community fire departments range from 42 hours to 56 hours per week depending on their contract.
- We answer about the same number of calls per resident as surrounding communities.
- All 89 of us are cross-trained Firefighter/Medics: licensed paramedics who also handle fire, hazmat, and technical rescue.
- We complete more than 200 hours of required training every year: fireground drills, EMS continuing education, hazmat, driver/operator and more, in between answering calls.
Put simply: a community our size and call volume would, by national standards, run with more people. Livonia gets it done with 21 a day and trains relentlessly to do it well. We are not asking to change that with this renewal, we're asking to keep it from dropping to an unsafe level.
