The Galion Fire Department is located at 301 Harding Way East. When fully staffed, the Department has 17 men including the Chief and Fire Inspector. There are 5 firefighters on each of three shifts that work 24 hours on duty and 48 hours off.

The department is headed by Fire Chief Mick Christini who accepted the position in March 2000, after serving 10 years in the department.

In addition to fire protection services, the Galion Fire Department provides Emergency Medical Services, and participates in a variety of community projects including Fire Safety education and fund raising for both MDA and Fire prevention programs.

The major goal of the Galion Fire Department is to incorporate the Ambulance Service into the Fire Department. The Department is strengthening its Fire Prevention mission by having every member of the Department take an active role in this important issue.

The Department also hopes to join with other Fire Departments within the Crawford County area to create an Arson Task Force, a County-wide Hazardous Materials Team (HAZ-MAT), and a limited Automatic Response capability.
