"Mission Statement"
"To protect life and property within the limits of Munson Township by providing fire, emergency medical services, and public assistance. To operate a safe, well organized managed structure which shall treat all members fairly and with the highest respect, for serving the community."
The members of our department would also like to welcome you to our new web site, www.munsonfire.org. We are dedicated to serving and educating the residents of Munson Township, Ohio, USA, and all who access our web site.
The Munson Fire Department was organized in 1952. While methods have certainly changed, the traditions and dedication established by pioneer firefighters continues to thrive in our department. In 2008 we find the residents of Munson Township protected by a fully staffed department. Munson Fire Department employs part-time and full time firefighters. The initial response area of Munson Township is twenty-five square miles contained within Geauga County. In 1995 the Munson, Hambden and Chardon Fire Departments entered into an automatic aid agreement, which basically means that all three fire departments will respond automatically to emergency calls in each others jurisdictions. Services provided by Munson Fire Department run a broad gamut limited only by your imagination. Some of the more traditional responses are: fires of any nature, emergency medical calls, rescues, various types of public assists, hazardous material. We are active members of the Geauga County Hazardous Material Team, Geauga Dive/Rescue Team, and Geauga County Fire Investigation Unit. Munson Fire Department has traditionally been on the leading edge in these areas. A close relationship exists between Munson Fire Department and University Hospitals as our medical control center, but we have close relations with Hillcrest, Lake Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, and Cleveland Metro Medical Center that insures prompt professional emergency medical care delivered to your door.
