Our department has come a long way since it was started in 1953 as Perry Township Fire Association with one engine only providing fire protection services to the Township. We strive to keep our skills at the highest to serve our Township Residents. We also monitor the physical capabilities of our members to do standard firefighting tasks through our annual fire agility test. We participate in continuing education for firefighting, EMS, Fire Investigation and Fire Inspection. All our Paramedics are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Life Support. The Perry Township Fire Department participates and hosts many trainings to further and refresh the training levels of our members. We have a total roster of about 40 members with different training levels, both Fire and EMS. They also are called upon if we should receive a second EMS call while the manned ambulance is on another assignment. Our volunteer staff is called upon to cover any motor vehicle accidents or fire calls. A second Paramedic/Firefighter is on staff from 8am to 4pmm Monday thru Friday to assist the Fire Chief with office work and be a second responder when necessary. This crew handles any standard EMS call in the township. Our station is manned 24/7 with one fulltime Paramedic/Firefighter, whom is partnered with one EMT. The Perry Township Fire Department is currently a combination department of fulltime, part-time and volunteer staff.
