Hartford Fire Board

The City of Hartford and Hartford Township entered into an agreement on September 13th, 1973 to jointly support the Hartford Fire Department. By doing this, they created a Fire Board to oversee the department. The fire board is made up of two representatives from each entity and one at large representative that serves six-year terms. Capital assets purchased by the Fire Board are jointly owned by the city and township.

The Hartford Fire Board made a purchase of a new 75' Aerial Fire Apparatus with 1,000 gallon water tank and 1,500 gpm water pump for a purchase price of $591,865. This purchase was made with a generous donation by an anonymous citizen and a two year millage approved by the property owners of both municipalities. The fire truck will be jointly owned by the Township and City and the Hartford Fire Board monitors the equipment and facility's conditions to keep all in good repair.
