Welcome to the Port Huron Township Fire Department web page. We have added many new and exciting features to our web page in order to provide you with important and informative information.

The department just celebrated its 50th Anniversary of helping our neighbors in need. For over half a century this organization has taken on challenges and has worked hard to improve and grow with our community.

"Courage, Ability and Compassion" is the department's motto. We are a combination fire department which means that we have both full time and on-call fire personnel. This is the most common form of protection for communities the size of Port Huron Township. A full time Fire Captain and an experienced Incident Commander are always on duty.

As first responders, on-call firefighters are alerted via pagers and directed to the scene. The average response time in the Township is six minutes or less. All of our firefighters are Michigan State Certified firefighters as well as licensed Emergency Medical Technicians.

Consumer Product Safety Commission

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or can injure children. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
