Fire and Rescue Protection

The Valley City-Liverpool Fire and Rescue Department is housed in a modern nine bay building at 6700 Center Road in downtown Valley City. The original building was built in 1951 as a Fire Station and Community Hall.

The Valley City Fire Department is a combination department consisting of 50 volunteer/part-paid members. The Fire Department also employs 1 full time Fire Fighter/Paramedic. The station is staffed daily with 2 part-paid members from 6AM until 6PM. Evenings are staffed with a night time schedule of 3 members assigned each night who respond from their homes for EMS calls. All other members are on call 24/7 for Fire or Rescue duty or additional EMS calls.

The present department was organized in 1934, but it can be traced to 1909 where a group of about 25 were the firefighting force for the township. The fire department was responsible for putting Valley City on the map by holding one of the first U.S. "Street Fairs", a tradition that continues today. Each year in August, State Route 303 is closed in the center of town for the weekend and the Valley City Street Fair is held.  This event is used  as a supplemental fund raiser for the fire department. During World War II most of the profits were dispensed in the form of cash to area servicemen.
