Richland Township Fire Department
Mission
Statement
To
serve the fire coverage area, and other fire departments, through mutual aid, by
protecting life, property, and the environment; by providing fire safety
education, inspections, suppression, investigations, emergency medical support,
disaster response, and hazardous materials mitigation. We will give the
highest level of service possible with the level of resources provided to this
department, in the most efficient, and cost effective manner possible.
History
The
Richland Township Fire Department was organized in 1922, as one of the earliest
fire departments in Saginaw County. Richland Township Fire Department
covered the following Townships: Richland, Fremont, Ingersoll (Midland
County), Swan Creek, James, and Thomas. In 1963, Thomas Township and James
Township Fire Departments were organized and Swan Creek Township joined the Tri
Township Fire District in St. Charles.
Services
Presently
we cover 36 square miles in Richland Township, 24 square miles in Fremont
Township, and 6 square miles in Ingersoll Township. The approximate
population for all three coverage areas is 7,500. We have a mutual aid
pact with all Saginaw County Fire Departments, giving us access to all their
Fire Fighters and equipment, if needed.
Richland Township Fire Department is funded by a special assessment in Richland
Township and contract fees with Fremont and Ingersoll Townships.
The Fire Department's headquarters are located at 1099 N. Hemlock Road, Hemlock,
Michigan 48626. It is our third station since organization and was built
in 1986, replacing one that was built in 1948, which replaced the original
station which was built in 1922. Our equipment consists of two-class A
pumpers, one water tender, one rescue unit, one brush unit and one mobile air
supply unit.
Richland Township Fire Department responds to
approximately 350 alarms per year. Richland Township Fire Department
responds to all medical calls to assist Mobile Medical Response (MMR), the area
ambulance service, with pre-hospital emergency treatment. Richland
Township Fire Department hires Fire Fighters on an as needed basis.
Applications are available at the Richland Township Administration Office, 1180 North Hemlock Road, Hemlock, Michigan.
In January 2004, the Richland Township Police Department headquarters was added
to the station to better serve the public at a lesser expense.

The
Hemlock Volunteer Fire Fighters Association has purchased a Thermal Imaging
Camera. The camera has been given to the Richland Township
Fire Department, and placed in service, after Fire Fighters were trained with
it. The cost of the camera was $10,000.00, and bought with money donated
by citizens and organizations of the area. The donations were in Honor or
in Memory of loved ones. A complete list of donors is available at the Fire
Station.
The
donation fund is still in existence and all donations are used for non
disposable life saving equipment. If you would like to make a donation you
can make checks payable to, Hemlock Volunteer Fire Fighters Association,
and mail to 1099 North Hemlock Road, Hemlock, Michigan 48626.
We
thank all of you for your support in the past, and look forward to serving your
needs in the future.
