Fire

Delhi Township Fire Department is a professional organization committed to excellence in service to our community.

Since 1935

The Fire Department has served Delhi Township since 1935. A group of service minded citizens started the organization focused on providing fire protection from the ever present grass fires that occurred in the township at the time. They scratched together their resources to build a single bay station, purchase a fire pumper and hose.

In the first fifty years of its existence the community was contracted for service by volunteers and a few full time firefighters with Delhi Township Volunteer Fire Department Inc. In 1986, the Board of Trustees purchased the Department from the private fire company and fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS) have been provided by the township ever since.

Over 80 years from its inception, what exists today is a far cry from its humble beginnings.
