About the Department

The City of Madison Heights, Michigan is suburban community of 31,101 residents located two miles north of the City of Detroit. Madison Heights maintains a full-time, paid staff comprised of 31 sworn members operating out of two stations. The department provides fire suppression, advanced life support service with transport and hazardous materials response to an area of approximately 7.5 square miles.

Headquarters & Administration

The headquarters fire station is located at 31313 Brush Street and houses the administrative offices of the department. Running out of this station are one engine, a 2007 Pierce 1250-g.p.m. pumper, a 2015 Wheeled Coach ambulance, a 1998 E-One 95 foot aerial platform and a 14 foot Haz-Mat trailer. A 2002 1250-g.p.m. Pierce pumper and a 2009 Horton medium duty ambulance are kept at headquarters as reserves.

In August 2002, voters in the City of Madison Heights passed the Fire Station Bond Proposal. This bond proposal provided $5.926 million to construct a new, state-of-the-art headquarters fire station and training tower at the corner of Brush and Irving. This headquarters fire station contains a five-bay apparatus garage, a 1,200 square foot training room that can double as a public meeting room, and separate locker and shower facilities for male and female employees.
 
The training tower provides the Fire Department with many new training opportunities including a live burn room. The Fire Department moved into their new headquarters in June of 2004.
