When I am called to duty, God whenever flames may rage, give me the strength to save some life whatever be its age.

Help me to embrace a little child Before it’s too late, or some older person from the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout, and quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and give the best in me, to guard my neighbor and protect his property.

And if according to your will I have to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife

Established in 1879, the Port Clinton Fire Department serves the city of Port Clinton and Portage township, responding to various types of calls. These calls include, fires, motor vehicle accidents, confined space rescues, high angle rescues, hazmat calls, ice rescues and water rescues, among others. We are 38 members strong, including men and women that wish to give back to their community and will continue to give to the citizens. We perform the services they have to come expect from our countless hours of volunteering and training.

We are complemented by the Port Clinton firefighters Association Inc, which is a 501C3. The association organizes fundraisers and donations for specialized equipment and training for the betterment of the citizens we serve, as well as the firefighters in our organization. Items and services purchased by the Port Clinton Firefighter's association are donated to the city of Port Clinton for the use of the fire department.
