If you have an emergency, or need fire/ambulance service, please call 9-1-1.


Green House Number Signs: The Green reflective house number signs are used by the Fire Department and EMS to identify your house in an emergency, and are usually installed below your mailbox or newspaper box. In the event that there is not one at your residence, please contact the Fire Chief, Jeremy Smith, @ 567-203-8069 to request one. The cost per sign is $10.00

The Fire Station has a Weather Siren above it to alert Troy Township residents of bad weather. The Weather Siren is tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 10 AM. An actual warning will be a continuous sounding of the siren for three minutes. Upon hearing an actual warning, please turn on your weather radio to determine the reason for the warning and take appropriate action. Most weather warnings warrant taking cover in a tornado-type protection. This type of protection is generally in the basement or in a small, completely enclosed interior room such as a closet or bathroom. In any case, stay away from windows until the severe weather passes.
