Two volunteer departments service St. Clair Township. Funding for the departments is through voted levies. The levies produce approximately $260,000 annually, which is split between the Calcutta Volunteer Fire Department and the Glenmoor Volunteer Fire Department. The township fiscal officer disburses the money to both departments on a quarterly basis per the terms of the fire contracts with each department.
The Calcutta Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1954 and founded by Normal Neal. The Department purchased their first truck and had 9 firefighters on staff. In 2001 the department moved into its new Fire Station on Pugh Road, across from the street from the old one. The new facility features drive thru bays, decontamination showers, training room, office space and room for expansion on the second floor. The department covers 30 square miles of rural urban communities, with an ISO rating of 5 with our sister station. Currently protecting a population of 8000 plus, with over 500 businesses, two schools, a college, State Park and one of the busiest roads in Columbiana County. The Calcutta Volunteer Fire Department has strived to keep pace with the growing township.
The Staff has expanded into various areas. The Inspection Bureau consists of three Certified Fire Inspectors who conduct inspections and review plans. The Training Divisions have one Certified Instructors who train station personnel. Firefighters have received training in Firefighting, Hazmat, Radiation Monitoring, Medical Assistance, Rescue and Rope Rescue.
