Fire Department & EMS

Levy Facts
Wayne Township has a fire and rescue squad operating levy on the ballot in November. This is a five year operating levy, which needs renewed every five years. This is NOT a NEW TAX. It is a RENEWAL only. It WILL NOT raise your taxes. The fire and squad need these funds in order to operate.

Thanks to Fire Captain Darrell Yater and others, the Fire Department and Life Squad have received several grants this year towards the purchase of fire protective gear, helmets, boots, air packs and education expenses for the members. Other operating expenses such as fuel, foam, life saving equipment, etc. are funded from this operating levy. With the renewal of this levy, the fire and rescue squad will continue to operate as they have in the past.

This is a volunteer fire and life squad department. The members volunteer a tremendous amount of their time to the Township. We are proud to have these dedicated folks working for us. We all will continue to do our best for our Township residents.

THANK YOU for your continued support!!

Mission Statement
The Wayne Township Fire Department & Emergency Medical Services will proudly and continuously protect life, property and the environment from fire, medical emergencies, natural disasters and other emergencies for those who live, work and travel through Wayne Township and the surrounding areas with competent, professional and honest members.

Goal
Our goal is to provide professional, prompt and efficient response to fire, medical and other emergencies with trained personnel and state-of-the-art equipment. 

Our fire department was organized in 1948 as a volunteer fire department.  The term “volunteer” refers to the fact that each member volunteers to come when called.  The fire department is controlled by the Wayne Township Board of Trustees who appoint a Fire Chief to manage both the fire department and emergency medical services.  The Fire Chief is authorized by the Township Trustees to appoint officers to assist in the management of emergency operations and Township owned equipment.  The size of our department is currently set at 26 members.  The individual members are the most important part of the department and without their services we would not have a volunteer department.
