| Washington Township Fire Station 141 (Headquarters) - Rockville Road (US-36) Built in 1964, the left three bays of this building served as Avon's first fire station for many years before larger apparatus required an addition. The department's administration offices are connected to the firehouse in the back and can be accessed to the right of the building. Station 141 is home to Battalion 14, Ladder 141 and Rescue 141. Reserve Ambulances and a reserve engine are also sometimes housed at this location. |
