Fire Department of
Liberty Township

FDLT was formed in January 2000 by a cooperative effort of Cartersburg, Clayton and Belleville Volunteer Fire Departments. The department protects a population of 5,500 people living in an area of 35 square miles. FDLT is a combination department that operates out of 2 stations to protect a primarily rural area. The department is a non-profit organization that contracts with the Liberty Twp Trustee and the Town of Clayton. In 2006 the Plainfield Police Department began dispatching the department on the MECA/800mhz system to provide dramatically improved safety and effectiveness.
