Two free programs for every household
The department runs two home safety programs at no cost to residents. Both are simple to request and both help our crews reach you faster when it counts.
Request a reflective address sign
A reflective, 911 visible house number helps our crews and the ambulance find you fast, day or night. Ask the department to make one for your driveway.
Request an address signWhat the department does
A private nonprofit that contracts fire protection to Starr Township, run entirely by volunteers who live here.
Fire suppression
Response to structure, vehicle, and outdoor fires across the township.
Emergency first response
On scene support for local emergencies alongside county services.
Home safety programs
Free smoke detectors and free reflective address signs for residents.
Mutual aid
Works with neighboring departments so no call is answered alone.
Backed by years of protecting our township, the crew trains and turns out for whatever the day brings. A recent grant is helping the department work toward a new truck.
Answer the call.
Starr Township runs on volunteers. No experience needed to start. If you can show up for your neighbors, there is a place for you on the crew. Training and gear come with the role.
Support the department
Every dollar helps keep the trucks running and the crew equipped. Reach out to ask how to give, or to donate equipment. Local support keeps the wheels turning between grants.
Get in touch
The fastest ways to reach the department are email and Facebook. Both go straight to the volunteers who run it.
