Albany - Delaware Township Volunteer Fire Department

The Albany - Delaware Township Volunteer Fire Department is dedicated to providing continuing education for all of our firefighters.  Our department meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month for department training at 7pm.  We strive to train in everything from the basics firefighter skills to other more advanced training.  

The Albany Fire Department provides the capability of training new recruits in the 40 Hour Mandatory Firefighter course, National Incident Management System courses 100, 200, 700, and 800, Healthcare Provider CPR & AED (instructors provided by Albany Emergency Medical Services), and Hazardous Materials Operations and Awareness (provided by the Delaware County EMS VIPER Team).   These courses are provided throughout the year and are opened up to surrounding agencies to help them better their departments as well.

Fire Instructors from throughout the county assist in our training and state certification classes giving us the ablility to certify these men and woman to better serve the communities in which they work.

The Albany - Delaware Township Volunteer Fire Department is here to help educate the public about Fire Prevention and Fire Safety in the home, business, or at school.  We use this as a community out-reach to help the public.  

Our Firefighters participate in Fire Prevention Week talking with kids about what to do to make their homes safer.  We educate them but use them to go educate their parents also.  We go to the schools and the schools take field trips to come to our station to see what we have giving the kids the opportunity to see what all we have and how we work.  

Every year, there is a different topic that is focused on to help the public be fire smart.  If we can be of any service or assistance, please contact our office at 765.789.6390.  Our Firefighters will be there to help with any event possible to better educate in Emergency Preparedness.  We will be working with the Indiana Red Cross in 2017 when they conduct their smoke detector program to help those who need new smoke detectors in their homes.
