Wayne
Township Volunteer Throughout the 1970's Wayne Township grew dramatically, requiring a total of 9 stations, many of which were single engine houses. During the 1970/80's many of the stations had a unique and very bold color schemes which included bright and neon colored rigs. Prior to 1999, Wayne Township had served as the largest and busiest volunteer fire department in the state with nearly 16,000 calls annually in the late 1990's. In late 1999 they moved to a combination department. Station 10 is now current Station 885. |
