Many times people come up to members of the Fire Department and ask questions about what we do and how we do it. Here are just a few.

1. Is the Moraine Fire Division a full-time, part-time, or volunteer fire department?

3. What is an EMS fee?

A fee is charged for patients transported to a hospital facility by the Fire Division Emergency Medical Vehicle.

4. Why does the Moraine Fire Division bill for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) calls?

The Moraine Fire Division consists of approximately 33 members which are divided among two stations and respond to approximately 3,000 calls per year. The Division operates two engines, one ladder truck, and three paramedic/ambulance units. For more information, please check out the About Us tab.

7. Where is the closest Fire Station to my house?

8. What is the Safe Havens Law?

Ohio’s Safe Havens Law, enacted in 2001, allows parents to anonymously and safely surrender a newborn up to 30 days old to an emergency medical service worker, peace officer, peace officer support employee, or hospital employee, or by calling 911 and waiting with the child until one of the above takes possession of the child without fear of prosecution. The law is intended to be a last resort for parents who are unable to care for their baby. Parents are not required to provide any information, including their name, but it can be helpful to provide basic health information.

9. Does the Moraine Fire Division participate in the Safe Haven program?

Yes. If you are a parent of a child under 30 days old and you can not take care of that child, you can bring the child to any fire station or the police station in Moraine and give them to a member of either department without fear of prosecution. If possible, provide the infant’s date and time of birth, any medical family history, information regarding prenatal care, and any information concerning the birth that might be relevant. No one will ask the person dropping off the infant who they are or attempt to stop the person from leaving the child.

10. Where can I go in the City if I need my Blood Pressure taken?

Every Wednesday from 11:30a to 12:30p the Moraine Fire Division checks blood pressures for senior citizens or any one who would like to have their blood pressure check at the Moraine Civic Center located at 3050 Krietzer Rd.

Another option for a blood pressure check is to stop by any one of the City’s fire stations during normal business hours (8a to 5p).
