The fires station is the center of activity when members are not on calls.  During the day we have two full time employees and volunteers come to work and chat.

In the event of severe weather the fire department sends out vehicles to spot for tornados or other weather related hazards.  As all of the people in Cedarville run to the safety of their homes, the fire department responds to prearranged locations in the township to ensure the safety of Cedarville.  

This training exercise was a practical skills evolution for the Level II Firefighter class that was taught by Cedarville.  The goal was to learn and observe how to use a fog pattern to keep smoke and heat away from firefighters when fighting liquid hydrocarbon fires.

Every year the village of Cedarville holds Labor Day festivities called Cedarfest.  The fire department provides a pancake breakfast for the community at the firehouse.  The people of Cedarville greatly enjoy eating breakfast at the firehouse every year while celebrating the birthplace of Labor Day.

Cedarville University donated an abandoned house to the fire department to be used as a live burn training evolution.  New firefighters were able to gain experience observing fire development and learning firefighting techniques.  In the end the house was burnt down so that Cedarville University would not have to tear it down.

Structural fires are infrequent but the most time and work intensive type of calls we receive.  Click to see some of our volunteers hard at work fighting fire.
