The Aboite Township Volunteer Fire Department is working with Allen County officials to form a fire protection district for unincorporated Aboite Township (those areas outside of the Ft Wayne city limits).  This fire protection district would allow the Department to have full time personnel on duty 24/7/365.  This new fire protection model has been deemed necessary as we have seen an explosion of population growth in our area as well as a decrease in volunteer firefighters.  Currently we have 2 medics on duty 24/7 and 2 weekday daytime firefighters.  Any fire calls at night and on weekends are responded to by our volunteer staff. 

 

There are more details on the proposed fire district in this presentation and the tax implications can be found here. 

 

In order to bring this valuable, life-saving service to our community we are asking residents to attend the Allen County Commissioners public hearing scheduled for the morning of Friday, December 2nd to voice their support.  The meeting time will be announced soon.

Trustee Mike Meyers took office on January 1, 2019 and has made great improvements to many areas of our township during his term.  Through his efforts Aboite Township residents now have improved fire service with the addition of daytime, weekday firefighters on duty.  Mike has built cooperative working relationships with community partners such as the YMCA and SACS.  Under his guidance the Township Assistance program has expanded to include a food pantry, payee programs and collaboration with area churches to better serve our residents.  Mike has also worked tirelessly to make improvements to Indian Trails and Van Hoozen Parks, including playground painting and maintenance, baseball field upgrades, a nature trail and security.
