Granville Township Fire Department

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!

Special shout-out to Firefighter Tommy Klein (photo 1) who is currently halfway through a six month multi-discipline technical rescue training. Tommy will be the eighth full-time firefighter to complete this valuable training.

UPDATE: Issue has be resolved

911 TROUBLE - Some cell carriers (mainly Verizon & Spectrum Wireless) are having trouble connecting 911 calls to Licking County Regional Communications Center. This is a problem on the network level and out of our control, and we do not have an estimated time of restoral. Callers may experience upwards of two minutes of silence before their call is connected with a dispatcher. Callers should be encouraged to stay on the line until a dispatcher answers or dial the direct emergency line at 740-345-1177.eed
