CITY OF FERNDALE

Fire Department

Ferndale firefighters—or as our community knows them, superheroes, lifesavers, and educators—protect and serve Ferndale’s community. The Department provides full-scale fire rescue and EMS as a part of OAKWAY, a mutual aid group composed of other neighboring departments like to Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, and Royal Oak Township.

Fire and Safety Inspections

The Fire Department offers a complimentary virtual home inspection to Ferndale residents at no cost. This citation-free inspection oversees the exterior and interior of the home with fire safety tips and suggestions.
