The Davison Richfield Area Fire Department has been in operation for over 100 years, serving an area of 72 square miles with approximately 30,000 residents.  The Fire Department is governed by the Davison Richfield Area Fire Authority with representatives from the City of Davison, Davison Township and Richfield Township sitting on the Board.  Chief Michael Wright, who has been with the Department since 1972, was named Fire Chief in February, 2004.

Our fire fighters are paid-on-call volunteers with a current staff of thirty-one, including officers and the Fire Department Clerk, Jody Warne.  Two weekly training meetings are held on Wednesdays: 10:00 a.m. to noon and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.  Each fire fighter is provided in excess of 200 hours of formal fire fighting training to achieve Fire Fighter I and II certification with additional hours to become a Medical First Responder.  The department holds training in various other categories including extrication and ice rescue.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with the Department, stop at the Fire Hall to pick up an application from the Fire  Clerk.  Upon receipt of the completed application, criminal and driving records are reviewed and interviews will be conducted. You must reside in a two air-mile radius of the Fire Hall; no prior experience is necessary to apply.  For more information, contact Jody at 810-653-5671.
