This page is in no way an official website for the Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Department, and is in no way intended to depict thoughts or ideas of the FD. This page is for recreational use only, and was created for the entertainment of the members and other FD's. It is a way to contact members and other FD's in the Country. We are all AMERICAS BRAVEST, and it is an honor to be a part of this fine brotherhood.I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burns...
I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a building fire "Is this a false alarm or a working fire? How is the building constructed? What hazards await me? Is anyone trapped?" Or to an EMS call, "What is wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life-threatening? Is the caller really in distress or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?"...
I wish you could be in the emergency room as a doctor pronounces dead the beautiful five-year old girl that I have been trying too save during the past 25 minutes. Who will never go on her first date or say the words, "I love you Mommy" again...
I wish you could know the frustration I feel in the cab of the engine or my personal vehicle, the driver with his foot pressing down hard on the pedal, my arm tugging again and again at the air horn chain, as you fail to yield the right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. But when you need us however, your first comment upon our arrival will be, "It took you forever to get here!"...
I wish you could know my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teenage years from the remains of her automobile. "What if this was my sister, my girlfriend or a friend? What were her parents reaction going to be when they opened the door to find a police officer with hat in hand?"...
I wish you could know how it feels to walk in the back door and greet my parents and family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come back from the last call...
I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfaction of helping save a life or preserving someone's property, or being able to be therein time of crisis, or creating order from total chaos...I was started in 1957 to protect the rural part of Hamilton County known as Wayne Twp. Today i have just around 30 active members, i am providing Fire and EMS services with a Medic on station 24hrs a day, and a FF/EMT 8hrs a day all week.
