The Scioto Township Fire Department consists of many firefighters with many different training backgrounds. Since the Department is a "volunteer" department, all personnel must pass the State of Ohio mandated 36 hour training course (or FF I). There are around 20 firefighters at any given time on the Department roster. Many of the personnel's backgrounds go well beyond the state minimum training requirements. the department currently has the following on staff:
Firefighter Level I (36 hour requirement)-10
Firefighter Level IA-2
Firefighter Level II (Professional Fire Card)-10
EMT-B - 8
Paramedics-4
While the above shows a breakdown of state "labeled" levels, the department is constantly training with new equipment, concepts, and technology. The station has department-wide training minimum 2 days per month, with many months having 3 or more. The training comes from the Department's Officer's as well as outside training form members of other departments who specialize in certain training aspects or from colleges and the state fire academy.
