Completed Campaigns

Lucas Device

The Lodi Fire Foundation has funded an additional Lucas Device for the Lodi Fire Department. Now all frontline apparatus have one on board. The Lucas device is used on patients that are in cardiac arrest and require CPR. The Lucas device performs chest compressions which frees up emergency personnel on scene and allows them to perform other life-saving procedures on the patient in a more coordinated and efficient manner. The rapid performance of these additional procedures can often be the difference that dictates whether or not a person’s regular cardiac function can be restored. This has been one of the greatest advancements in medical technology that the Lodi Fire Department has implemented in the last 30 years and it has greatly increased patient survivability outcomes from cardiac arrest.

Ballistic Vest Campaign

The Lodi Fire Lodi foundation kicked off a ballistic best campaign at their first annual golf tournament. Thanks to the outpouring of support from community, $30,000 was raised to outfit to Lodi Fire Department with ballistic vests. It is anticipated that the vests will be received and put into service before the end of 2022. A piece of artwork will be displayed at Fire Station 1 recognizing the donors that made the campaign successful.

Firefighter Memorial

The Firefighter Memorial project is almost complete thanks to the generosity of the community! Thank you to LR Varwig & Sons, California Rock & Ready Mix, RJQ Landscape & Design, Bockmon & Woody Electric Co Inc, Kiwanis Club of Greater Lodi, Alricks Steel Inc, Custom Concrete Systems, Gates Concrete Construction, Bob & Anna Morgan, and the Lodi Arts Commission for making this possible.  The statue was donated to the City of Lodi by the Lodi Fire Foundation and is not only a beautiful addition to Station 1, but a way for us to honor those that have lost their lives in this line of work.

Extractor 

An extractor is a machine that is used to wash firefighters turnouts (the personal protection gear worn by firefighters) and ensures that all of the carcinogens and particulates have been removed. The Lodi Fire Department previously contracted out for these specialized cleaning services which is not only costly, but also has a lengthy turn around time. This extractor is housed at Fire Station 2.

 Lodi Fire Department Rescue Boat

The Lodi Fire Department has a motor boat that is kept at Lodi Lake for water rescue.  This boat was in need of a larger motor to make it more efficient. Thanks to a generous donation from a Lodi resident, the fire department was able to purchase a larger motor. This boat is heavily used during the summer season to keep people visiting Lodi Lake safe.
