Washington Township Fire Department started when a fire occurred on Hathaway Road in 1947 and Washington Township farmers were upset that no fire department responded. A 2.3 mill tax levy was put on the ballot in November 1948 to help the start of a fire department in Washington Township and the levy passed. In 1949 the new station was built and began serving the residents of Washington Township. For the complete history visit www.washingtontwprichlandcounty.com.
