Station
Summitville Fire Station - Main Street
Located downtown, the fire department was added onto this building in 1953. In 1969 the right side of this structure was
purchased to house the Town Hall and Police Department. There is a back bay in the 2 story building that holds 2 rigs.
The front is still the Town Hall and Police while the Fire side also houses the Township office. A new firehouse is being built
a couple of blocks from this location which will house SVFD and the Van Buren Township Office.
