We accomplish this by forming partnerships with our citizens and businesses. While enforcement of the law is an important tool in providing public safety services to Northville Township, we believe that it is essential that we have an organizational philosophy, which emphasizes the prevention of crime.

Fire Department Fire Chief/Deputy Director of Fire Service: Richard Marinucci 45745 Six Mile Road Non-emergencies: 248-348-5807 Emergency: 9-1-1 The Northville Township Fire Department continues to strive toward professional development and is committed to providing the best level of public service available. The fire department is licensed to provide advanced life support (ALS), and its members are paramedics. This is a comprehensive service that includes response and transport for those requiring the service. The Department continually trains it personnel in all aspects of the fire service which includes firefighting, fire prevention, EMS, and special rescue. The training involves the maintenance of existing skills and the development of emerging competencies to address changing emergencies. For fire departments to be most effective they must respond with the best people, trained properly and continually, with the tools needed in the moments that matter. Due to an increase in population, run volume, and overall township growth, the fire department is committed to elevating its level of service in all areas of emergency response.
