Hanover Township Volunteer Fire Company has been providing fire service to the residents of Hanover Township since 1942. EMS service has been provided since 1969. Consider serving your family, friends, and neighbors by joining us. All required training and equipment is provided. We have a long history of family involvement, and family oriented events are hosted throughout the year. It’s not unusual to stop by the station on a weekend and find families socializing for the evening. If you are interested in finding out what this service entails, contact us at the station, or stop by during Monday night drill.
