History:

In 1762, Plainfield Township was formed. From that time until 1961 the township had to rely on personal or outside agencies to supply fire protection. In 1961, nearly 200 years since the formation of the township, a group of caring residents joined forces and mortgaged their homes to form what is today known as the Plainfield Township Volunteer Fire Company. Since then many men and women have dedicated their time to insure the safety of your family and neighbors. Through countless hours of training, fund raising and responding to emergency calls these select few have kept your safety assured while not burdening your tax dollars.
