Granville Township Fire Department

The GTFD serves Granville Township including the Village of Granville and Denison University.

Granville is served by the Granville Township Fire Department (GTFD), which is a municipal fire department operated by the Granville Township Board of Trustees. It also serves 80% of McKean Township under a contractual agreement. The department is funded by a 4.8 mill Granville Township fire levy as well as contract fees from McKean Township. The GTFD is staffed with a combination of career, inter

mittently scheduled, and volunteer members. Paid staffing is scheduled to maintain four personnel on duty at all times, twenty-four hours a day. There are currently ten career firefighter/paramedics, fifteen intermittent firefighter/paramedics, and twenty-five volunteer firefighter/EMTs and paramedics. Fire code enforcement is handled by a part-time fire inspector working under the direction of the Fire Chief. The department fleet consists of a 1500 Gallons-Per-Minute (GPM) Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) pumper, a 1200 GPM rescue/pumper, a 93-foot aerial platform, and an 1800 gallon tanker. Additional apparatus consists of two advanced life support ambulances, a grass fire truck, and one staff vehicle. The GTFD operates from a single facility at 500 South Main Street in Granville. The fire station was opened at this new location in October of 2020!

Callers may experience upwards of two minutes of silence before their call is connected with a dispatcher.
