STANTON COMMUNITY FIRE AND RESCUE Fire Department The Stanton Volunteer Fire Department was first organized in 1890 and has proudly served since. Current Chief Dallas Hinnerichs and Assistant Chief Lowell Kai led the group of 28 volunteer firefighters. The fire department serves the Stanton County Fire District along with the Pilger Fire Department that covers approximately 277.5 square miles. The Fire Department operates seven fire suppression units and assists the Rescue Unit at the scene of all injury accidents. Extrication Equipment, known as the "Jaws of Live" is carried on one of the fire units that respond to vehicle accidents. Firefighters are required to keep it ready in-service training and provide maintenance on all the fire equipment to keep it ready at a moments notice. Both the Fire Department and Rescue Unit are housed in the fire station located next to City Hall. Fire Department Officers The Fire Department holds their meeting the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. at the city hall.

Rescue Unit The Stanton Community and area is served by many volunteers on our local Rescue Unit and Fire Department. The twenty-five members of the Stanton Rescue Unit respond to an average of over 100 calls for service per year that average 1.5 to 2 hours to complete from start to finish. All members are required to complete annual training and updates on emergency treatment of the sick and injured that they serve. Recently the rescue Unit upgraded services to an advanced life support unit that allows for additional medical treatment by Stanton paramedics that often can be the difference between life and death. Stanton Rescue covers and area of about 200 square miles and offers service to its victims in two rescue units that are completely equipped. Members also recently completed a rope rescue training with members of the Fire Department that allows for prompted treatment and rescue of those injured in often hard to get to locations. Every year members of the rescue Unit Teach different groups CPR and other first aid related classes and continue to educate our youth about emergency medical services. Stanton Rescue works directly with other rescue units in the area and with the Life Net Medical Helicopter based in Norfolk. Click here for 2005 Rescue Statistics.
