Newton Fire & EMS (Kansas)

== Department Profile ==
The Newton Kansas Fire Department was established in 1897, serving the city of Newton for 100 years in fire suppression and rescue operations before merging with the Newton Ambulance Department in 1997, forming the Newton Fire/EMS Department. Since merging, the department has been providing fire suppression, rescue, and EMS to the cities of Newton and North Newton, as well as the majority of the eastern portion of Harvey county.
The department is headed by Fire Chief Steve Roberson, who is aided by Deputy Chief Cory Lehman. Training is managed by Division Chief Phil Beebe, and logistics are managed by Division Chief Joe Martin. The department formerly had positions for Battalion chiefs but the role has since been given to the three shift Captains. Currently full staffing for each shift includes 12 Firefighters, 2 Lieutenants, and 1 Captain, as well as a Chief on call for critical incidents.
Serving a population of approximately 30,000 people, Newton Fire/EMS responds to an average of around 4,100 calls a year. 
The department offers specialized services to regional departments, as well as nationwide disaster response as members of Kansas Task Force 5 and the Kansas Major Emergency Response Group (MERGe). Their specializations include a technical rescue team, a Disaster Medical Support Unit (DMSU), a fire/arson investigations team, a tactical paramedic team, and water rescue team. The department formerly provided HAZMAT services as well, but has since been terminated and now relies on regional resources for aid in those incidents. 
In 2010 the department achieved an ISO rating of 2, and has since maintained this rating.
