July 1, 2009: In November we asked you to support us by voting on a levy that was aimed at combining the Fayette Township Fire District #1 with the Fayette #2 Fire Department. Now we are pleased to announce that with your help we've finally been able to bring it all together. Both departments have been working together in an automatic aide agreement for several years so it's not likely you'll see much of a change. But, the administration of the department has now taken a huge step to streamline our operations. What does that mean? We can now work more efficiently and can stretch you tax dollars even farther.

Before I joined the fire department I was like anyone else. If there were a fire or a car wreck in the neighborhood I would walk down to see what was happening. It didn't take long for me to turn in an application. As a member of the fire department for the past 14 years I can tell you that it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I still get to go see what is happening but now I know how to help. On a local level there is no better way to contribute to your community. There are many ways you can help.

April 5, 2009: We responded to a fully involved structure fire shortly before midnight on April 5th. The initial fire attack was hindered because of power lines were down in the rear of the residence. Units from Fayette #2 as well as South Point and Chesapeake Fire Departments were called to the scene. The Ohio State Fire Marshal's office was contacted to conduct the investigation. More Photos are available in our photo gallery. They were taken by a former Fayette Twp Firefighter Roy Evans who has been recently reinstated as the department's photographer.
