Fire Department
The Claremont Fire Department is a full service department serving the city with full time staffing since 1917. A staff of 16 full time career emergency response staff (including EMTS and Paramedics), 8 paid call fire personnel and 3 administrative personnel including the Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief and part-time Administrative Assistant provide the community a full array of services. Fire Department Services include fire code compliance and fire safety inspections, fire prevention training, fire suppression, emergency medical care, technical rescue services and hazardous material control. The fire department is a State licensed non-transport ambulance service with paramedic level personnel supporting the city’s contracted ambulance service. The 1917 brick fire station has been remarkably maintained and houses six modern pieces of fire and rescue apparatus. Approximately fourteen hundred emergency responses annually are made by the department with nearly seventy percent of all calls showing fire department arrival within six minutes.
