History
The Armada Township Fire Department (ATFD) was established in 1853 and staffed entirely with volunteers. The ATFD was one of the first departments to provide basic life support ambulance services in Northern Macomb County. In 2004, the first full-time fire chief was hired. Through progressive planning and budgeting, the ATFD hired three full-time firefighter paramedics in August 2009 and two months later upgraded from Basic Life Support transporting to Advanced Life Support transporting services.
Current
Today, your fire department provides fire, rescue, and Advanced Life Support ambulance services out of one station staffed 24/7. Our staff consists of a full-time fire chief and 12 full-time firefighter/paramedics, who are supported by part-time and paid on call staff. Our budget is derived from ambulance transport revenue, a 3.25 mills special assessment rate for fire protection and a 2.25 mills millage rate fore Advanced Life Support.
