What is a volunteer (part-paid) firefighter?
A Volunteer Firefighter is a member of the community who offers to give their time to their local fire department. They are expected to respond to emergency calls and receive the proper training, just like a career firefighter. The difference is they usually do it in their time off from their full-time jobs. They may work shifts at the station and/or respond to calls from their home or job site. Hamlin Township Firefighters are paid per call they make.
Does the HTFD offer safety programs for kids?
Absolutely! While we had to take a break during COVID, HTFD does offer to visit area schools / daycares or have them visit us. Please visit our Fire Prevention page for more information and to submit a request.
why do i sometimes see htfd in eaton rapids city?
There are several reason we could be in the city. We have mutual aid agreements with several area departments including ERFD & ERTFD to respond to calls to assist. Hamlin Township also extends to 5 Point Hwy and Plains Hwy outside of the City, responding through the City may be the fastest route. Additionally, since we work together often we train with ERFD & ERTFD often as well.
