The Fairfield Fire & EMS responds to approximately 180 Fire and Rescue calls per year, and 670 Medical Calls.  In 2001, The Fairfield Fire & EMS did a major building renovation including additional apparatus bays, a new community hall, kitchen, a gear wash room, EMS bunk room, and more office space. The Fairfield Fire & EMS, along with the Fountaindale Fire Company were the host of the 2004 ACVESA Convention, held at the Adams County Emergency Services Training Facility. The Fairfield Fire and EMS has taken a proactive approach to life safety in there coverage area and beyond by providing testimony and professional recommendations into the addition of residential sprinkler code into town ordinances. Carroll Valley was the first in this area to adopt this new code. The Fairfield Fire & EMS is currently in the final design phase of a new brush truck.
