Ohio Township Volunteer Fire Company was established on August 13, 1946 when 19 men assembled at the house of the first president William Dornburg. The men each pitched in $1.00 and with that money the Ohio Township Volunteer Fire Company was born.
Through fundraisers, money was raised for a pumper which was purchased in 1948 for $750.00 from nearby Laurel Gardens Volunteer Fire Department
The fire company flourished over the following years, with growth in membership and strong leadership, OTVFC was able to keep on top of firefighting capabilities. In the 1950’s a new fire hall was built and a vehicle was purchased for use as a brush truck, the Dodge PowerWagon is still in service today.
