NEW Dispatch for Spencer Fire
On Wednesday, 10/05/2011, Spencer Township Fire/Rescue transitioned to dispatch under Consolidated Fire Dispatch. This new service will ensure more timely, organized , and accurate dispatch of personnel in the event of an emergency. Consolidated Fire Dispatch is all emcompassing in that they will handle every emergency call from the time the 911 call is placed until the last apparatus has returned. There will no longer be a need for a volunteer to man the dispatch office at the station.

Harding Township Signs Contract with Spencer Township
Harding Township signed a one year contract with Spencer Township to provide Fire and EMS coverage to Harding Residents. Spencer Township Fire/Rescue will cover State Route 295 and East to Schwamburger Road and Swanton Fire/Rescue will cover the western half of Harding Township starting January 1, 2010.
Spencer Fire/Rescue and Richfield Fire/Rescue have signed an Automatic Response Agreement.
10/05/2009 Spencer Township, Richfield Township Trustees and Fire Chiefs have signed an Automatic Response Agreement. This agreement will provide both townships with better coverage and quicker responses, as Lucas County 911 will dispatch both departments simultaneously on all Motor Vehicle Collisions and Structure Fires.
This will enable multiple resources to arrive on scenes quicker and provide better fire protection, suppression, and EMS care and give us the opportunity to back fill our station with Richfield’s apparatus and personnel to cover our township in the event that we are aiding another department
