77 Years of Service:
The Novi Fire Department
Since
1929 the Novi Fire Department has brought hard work, safety and
dedication to the Novi community. Firefighters put their
lives on the line daily to help others.
From car crashes to burning buildings, they never stop, and are
always working at 110%, and with the many homes, businesses, malls,
and Interstate I-96 and M-5 all within Novi's city limits, our
firefighters are always busy.
In
Novi there are full time, along with part-time paid-on-call, men and
women who stop at nothing to serve their community. The full-time
firefighters work mostly during the week days, and the part-time
firefighters work mostly nights and weekends.
Everyone in our community probably passes a fire station every day
at some point, and thinks nothing of it. Inside, these people are
truly the heart and soul of our community.
There
are four fire stations in Novi, ensuring that these hard workers
will be close to any run, and able to handle any problem in no time
at all. The newest station opened just a couple years ago, and also
serves as the department's training center.
The Novi Fire Department is always looking for
new fire fighters. People who are interested in this profession may
