Special Operations
The Appleton Fire Department is trained to respond to a wide range of emergency situations-above and beyond the traditional firefighting expectations.
These areas include:
Emergency medical calls- Medical Treatment (as first responders)
- Automatic External Defibrillation (AED)
- Assist ambulance with transport if needed
Hazardous materials incidents
- Identify Chemical
- Contain Spill
- Protect Property
Water and Ice Rescue
 
Other Rescue
 - Confined space rescue and structural collapse rescue
- Rope Rescue
- Machine Extrication
- Vehicle Extrication
- Confined Space Rescue
- High Angle Rescue
 
All of these disciplines require additional training, both at the initial level and refresher training throughout the year.
As part of a regional approach to providing for these special disciplines, the Appleton Fire Department is partnered with several other fire/rescue departments and response teams to make up the Northeast Wisconsin Regional Response Hazardous Materials Team and Wisconsin Task Force 3 - Structural Collapse/Technical Rescue Team. Individuals on the departments involved in the regional teams spend a great deal of time training to maintain their skills in these specialty areas.
We spend a great deal of time training on fire ground operations and basic firefighter skills as well.
