Miami Township Fire Rescue

Miami Township Fire Rescue (MTFR) is a primarily volunteer department consisting of two full-time employee, eight part-time employees, and 54 volunteer members. We provide ALS emergency medical transportation, fire prevention and suppression, rescue services, and safety education to the residents and over 1 million annual visitors to our service area. MTFR responds to emergencies in a 24 square mile area, encompassing the villages of Clifton and Yellow Springs, Miami Township and a small portion of Green Township in neighboring Clark County. This area includes John Bryan State Park, the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, the Glen Helen Ecology Institute and Antioch College. Services are provided from two fire stations, located in Clifton and Yellow Springs.

MTFR's full-time employees, Chief Colin Altman, and Assistant Chief Denny Powell provide weekday coverage along with part-time staff members and available volunteers. Department volunteers provide weeknight and weekend coverage. Chief Altman, Asst. Chief Powell along with Captain David Finster rotate on-call shift commander coverage at night. MTFR is a cooperative education employer for Antioch College.
