Fire Department

Marshall Township is served by paid on-call professional firefighters as well as Medical First Responders. These men and women have all earned the State of Michigan Firefighter certification and they use these skills as well as those gained through our regular trainings to protect the citizens of Marshall Township and, by contract, the southern half of Convis Township.

Marshall Township firefighters respond to an average of 200 calls per year with a majority of these being vehicle accidents. 90% of Marshall Township residents are now within 2 miles of a fire station.

Marshall Township currently has 2 pumpers, 2 tankers, a rescue truck, grass rig, and a medical emergency response vehicle. We are able to maintain up to date firefighting vehicles, equipment and facilities due to a voter-approved special property tax of 1.5 mills. Keeping our Fire Department properly equipped and staffed keeps our fire insurance rating as favorable as possible without a municipal water supply and full time staffing.
