Today the Hartville Fire Department supplies progressive and cost effective 24 around the clock, 365 days a year manning of two (2) Fire Stations, one located at 411 East Maple Street in Hartville and a second fire station located at 2955 Nimishillen Church Street NE, Lake Township. These stations are manned by dedicated highly trained career full-time Firefighter/Paramedics, part-time and on call emergency personnel.

Our ambulances carry the latest state of the art electronic life sustaining equipment available today such as; the Physio Control Life-Pak 12, which features 12 lead cardiac monitoring, cardiac pacing and defibrillator functions which allows Paramedics and EMT'S to intervene in patients suffering sudden cardiac arrest. In addition we have direct electronic communications between our emergency ambulances and all area major hospital emergency rooms, we can send 12 lead EKG's while en route to the hospital, which allows them to have emergency physicians standing by when we arrive at the hospital.

The Hartville Fire Department was awarded by ISO a 4/6 fire protection classification which affords Hartville area residents the same home fire insurance ratings as if they lived in a large city such as Canton, Ohio.

Hundreds of hours are spent by our dedicated staff maintaining equipment and attending training drills so we can maintain our 4/6 ISO fire protection classification and save our citizens on their insurance rates.

Emergency Medical Personnel also attend and participate in continuing emergency medical education on a Monthly basis which is provided by Summa Medical Center emergency room physicians in Akron, Ohio.

Emergency medical calls have increased dramatically over the recent years as the Hartville and Lake Township area communities continue to experience rapid growth, which by all accounts will be the future trend.

We are proud of our town and our members who unselfishly serve others in need. As always we stand ready, willing and prepared to meet the needs and challenges in providing these services to the citizens we serve.
