Fire & Emergency Medical Services
Introduction The Maui Fire Department is a first-responder unit that responds to all fire/rescue emergencies, and co-responds with Emergency Medical Service personnel to various medical emergencies on the islands of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Maui Fire Department history. Department Structure Maui Fire Department The department has 14 fire stations throughout the County of Maui. There are 10 fire stations on the island of Maui, 3 fire stations on the island of Molokai, and one fire station on the island of Lanai. There are 14 engine companies, 2 ladder companies, 1 rescue/hazmat company, 4 tankers, and 3 rescue boats. The breakdown of fire apparatus is as follows: Maui: 10 engines, 2 ladders, 1 rescue/hazmat, 2 rescue boats, 2 tankers Molokai: 3 engines, 1 rescue boat, 1 tanker Lanai: 1 engine, 1 tanker. As the Manele community continues to flourish, plans are underway to build Station 15. The new fire station will house Engine 15 and Tanker 15, bringing the total of usable firefighting apparatus to Lanai to four, and reducing response time from that area. Emergency Medical Services There are seven ambulances on Maui, and one each on Molokai and Lanai that makes up the countywide EMS force. Radio Communications All dispatching for public safety agencies (police, fire, ambulance, civil defense) are handled in the County 911 PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) located at the Wailuku Police Station, 55 Mahalani Street. EMS units are dispatched using the 800 MHz trunked radio system. For ambulance-to-hospital communications, medic units switch to MEDICOM on 453.250. Fire dispatch and fireground communications use the 800 MHz radio system only. More information on the Maui 800 MHz trunked radio system can be found here.
