The organization of the Randolph Volunteer Fire Department began in 1939 and
was cha

rtered with the State of Ohio in 1940 by Howard Coler, Waldo Loomis
and Claude Lang. Harry Wise served as Fire Chief from 1939 to 1961. Randolph's first fire engine was built by Chief Wise at his Chevrolet dealership
in town on a truck purchased from Jenior Ford. All of Randolph’s fire engines would then be built by Chief Wise until 1970. In the early years the department was concerned with fighting and extinguishing
fires to fulfill its mission of protecting life and property. Fire prevention was later
added to help prevent problems that may cause fires. Claude Lang took over as fire chief in 1962. In 1970 Randolph purchased its first
fire engine built by a fire apparatus manufacturer. In 1976 the Fire Department
began to provide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to the Randolph community. EMS has progressed to make up eighty percent of the Fire Departments responses
and has become a major component of the Fire Service. After the retirement of Claude Lang in 1985, Michael Lang took over as Chief. The fire department purchased its first fully custom built fire engine in 1987. In 1990 the Fire Department hired a Full Time Fire Fighter / Paramedic to staff
the station during the day when most of the volunteers were at work. As run volume
increased during the 1990’s a Part Time Fire Fighter was added during the day so the
station could be staffed with two personnel. In recent years, dealing with hazardous
materials and threats of terrorism has become a major concern. In 2008 Michael Lang retired as Chief. The Randolph Township Trustees appointed Michael Lang Jr. In July of 2022 Mike Lang Jr. stepped down as Chief, and the Trustees appointed Mark Hamilton as the new Fire Chief. As the responsibilities of the Fire Department have increased, the training and skill level
required has become more demanding and equipment has become more sophisticated. This all puts a huge demand on the members of the Fire Department who must sacrifice
their time to uphold their commitment to the community.
