Chief's Update

Countless factors contribute to Berlin Township’s attractiveness and community strengths. Berlin Township Fire Department personnel contribute to that success through dedication and service. As the next generation of Firefighters (FF) and Medical First Responders (MFR) currently protecting Berlin Township and our surrounding communities our membership continues to find motivation and courage to face the current and future challenges.

On November 15, 2003 we turned in our 2003 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant Program application. This grant funding request was geared towards utilizing our website as an innovative tool to enhance communication and awareness with focus on children under the age of 14 years old and seniors. The objective of our Fire Prevention Awareness Program is based on enhancing our Public Safety Program through four key areas as follows: (a) Educate, (b) Instruct, (c) Inform, and (d) Distribute. Our goal is to “change the behavior of individuals through various educational programs in order to prevent injury, death, or loss to fire or other type of accidents”.
