FIRE & AMBULANCE SERVICE


Ovid Township has had independent fire service dating back to 1875 (then called “Washington Company” and later re-named the Ovid Area Fire Board).  The Ovid-Middlebury Fire Board was established April 18, 1977.  Ovid Area Ambulance Service was established in the Township on August 1, 1970.

 

The township currently receives fire and ambulance service from the Ovid-Middlebury Emergency Services Authority.  This Authority was established in January 2003 upon merger of the Ovid Area Ambulance Service and the Ovid & Middlebury Fire Board.  The Authority consists of three representatives each from Ovid and Middlebury Townships.  The supervisor from each Township must serve in addition to a second elected township official, and also includes one appointed at-large member from each township.  A representative from the Village of Ovid also serves on the board. At the time the authority was created, the emergency services vehicles would be housed in the Village municipal building so therefore it was felt the Village should be represented as well.  The Village member votes as a representative of the Village, not as a representative of the Township.
