The Sheffield Lake Fire Department was established in 1929. While the main function of the department is fire suppression activities, we have always been leaders in providing our residents with Emergency Medical Services.

In 1979 we were one of the first fire departments in Lorain County to provide paramedic services. It was at that time we increased our manning per shift from two to its current level of four.

The departments is staffed on a 24 hour a day basis with at least three firefighter/paramedics on duty at all times. The department has been able to provide our residents with a average response time of nearly four minutes when our assistance is needed. The department has the current manning levels in place:

Fire Department “File of Life”

The Sheffield Lake Fire Department, in cooperation with EMH Regional Medical Center, is providing the “File of Life” medical packet to anyone who is interested.

Simply stop by the Fire Station at 609 Harris Road and request your free packet.  Inside the packet is an informational form for you to fill out.  You can fill out information to include your medical conditions, medications, allergies and who to contact in case of an emergency.  There is a sticker in the packet to attach to your entrance door, alerting emergency responders that you have made this information available.  The packet has a magnetic strip, so that it can be attached to the refrigerator in your home, making it easy to locate.

Fire Fighters and Paramedics can quickly retrieve information during an emergency; a time when some can easily forget important details or be unable to communicate with rescuers.

Stop by the Fire Department today, and pick up your free packet.  If your mobility is impaired, simply call the Fire Station at 949-8182 and we will make arrangements to deliver one to you.
