Ravenna Township Fire Department

05/30/2026

It has been a busy day at the Ravenna Township Fire Department so far!

We started the morning with a structure fire response, followed by hosting vehicle fire training, and wrapped up just in time to respond to a motor vehicle accident.

We are pleased to report that there were no serious injuries in either emergency incident.

A special thank you goes out to Marlboro Towing for their assistance in making our vehicle fires possible.

Did you know that all full-time Ravenna Township firefighters are required to be certified as Firefighters, Paramedics, Fire Inspectors, and Fire/EMS Instructors? This allows us to conduct high-quality training in-house and provide it free of charge to our members.
