Prevention Goals
In 2021 the Department responded to 4563 calls for service in a city where the population is almost 20,000 permanent residents and up to 50,000 people who travel through or work in Mayfield Heights. Over 80% of all calls are medical-related. These, like all reported calls for emergency service, require a safe and rapid response by Fire Department personnel.The primary goal of the emergency medical services is to assure that responding units provide excellent prehospital care and transportation to the closest and most appropriate medical facility in order to reduce morbidity and mortality. The Department considers its Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics to be the most experienced and highly trained in the area.
The Mayfield Heights Fire Department takes great pride and strives to achieve minimal fire loss to all calls for service. It remains the Department's primary goal to protect lives and property, while at the same time protecting the economic base of real property that generate the tax dollars that makes our community strong.
Perhaps even more important than fire suppression is preventing fires from starting in the first place. Education of the public, especially children is accomplished through programs in the schools, fire drills, Fire Prevention Week, Safety Town and safety lectures by Fire Department personnel. The Fire Prevention Bureau also focuses on educating its senior citizens where they work, live, and meet.
