West Mead #2 and West Mead #1 are again providing fire protection during this year’s Crawford County Fair. The departments have worked together for many years protecting the thousands of visitors to West Mead Township and the fairgrounds. In years past West Mead #2 would provide equipment and staffing while West Mead #1 would send firefighters to help staff West Mead #2’s equipment. In recent years West Mead #1 has brought an engine to the grounds nightly.

The fairgrounds is staffed by the departments due to the potential delays in getting equipment on the grounds in the event of an emergency due to high traffic in the area that often accompanies the fair. This is just one of the many examples of West Mead Township firefighters working together to provide the highest level of service possible to our community.

While you are visiting the fair please take a moment to visit the station and support West Mead 2. The department is currently selling raffle tickets for their annual fall gun raffle. Tickets are $10.00 each and the department will hold an early bird drawing the last day of the fair.
