Did you know.....

Our calls for service have increased 123% since 2008, 1,791 in 2008 to 3,996 in 2025.

Our operating costs have increased 131% since 2008, from $2,809,300 in 2008 to $6,600,000 in 2025.

Dedicated revenue for the Fire Department comes from a 2008 Fire Levy, 1/2 of the 2016 Safety Services Levy and EMS Billing, the 3 combined generate approximately $4,000,000 dollars. The remainder of our operating costs are paid for out of the general fund and JEDD’s.

Inflation has increased approximately 52% since 2008.

Operating and equipment costs have risen dramatically while our dedicated revenue stream for services has remained flat.

Daily staffing went from 8 personnel in 2008 to 11 personnel in 2025, a modest increase in 18 years.

However the makeup of that staffing has changed dramatically, from 100% part time staff in 2008 to 70% career staffing today.

Without additional dollars Fairfield Twp. may have to close the Morris Road fire station.

Crews spent time yesterday afternoon reading with students at Fairfield North.

This is a program that allows us to interact with the students several times a year and share fire safety related messages!

With May 5th fast approaching, we want to ensure the public knows the Facts about the upcoming Fire Levy.

The May 5th Fire Levy is a 4.49 mill levy, estimated to generate $3,693,427 annually. Costing each home owner the following amount per $100,000, $157 per year, $13.08 per month, $3.02 per week and $0.43 per day.

This Fire Levy will allow us to maintain todays level of service, keeping both firehouses staffed and open, avoiding layoffs and allowing us to backfill 3 unfilled fulltime positions.

This Levy does not provide an increase in services or staffing.
