The Fire Department and Emergency Squad are staffed 100% by volunteers.  These volunteers provide coverage to Washington Township 24 hours a day, everyday. Both organizations always need new members to continue coverage. Training and equipment are provided.  If you are looking for a challenging, productive and rewarding way to help people please give serious thought to becoming a volunteer squad member. These people make a difference.

The Fire Department, Emergency Squad and Police ask that you have clearly visible house numbers on your mailbox and house so that addresses may be located more easily in case of emergency.  Local ordinance 52-7 states that house numbers shall be a minimum of three inches in height, clearly visible from the street and located below the outside light or more prominent place, if any. House numbers shall be procured and affixed at the homeowners expense.
