View original location on a mapThe Village of Armada had its own Fire Department from the middle of the 1800s when the Armada Township formed a Fire Department and the Village Department transferred to the Township Department. Fire protection has always been on a volunteer basis, with personnel being paid for time spent, except for the officers, who are paid a stipulated amount.
The department was housed in various buildings in the village over the years, the most recent being the large building on West Main street in front of the IGA complex. The township built a new building in the 1908s on Armada Center Road, just on the edge of the village limits and the fire and rescue equipment was moved there. The department still owns one of the first pieces of its fire equipment - a hand-drawn 1850s pumper - which it keeps for historical purposes.
