About the Department
Deckerville Fire Department covers a territory of approximately 97 square miles. This is one of the biggest coverage areas in Sanilac County. Deckerville Fire Department has a fleet of 2 engines, a 4000 gallon vacuum tanker, a utility van, a Jaws/Grass pickup, a covered trailer with a UTV with tracks and a rescue sled for the snowmobile trails. The UTV is also equipped in warm weather months with a water skid unit to use for grass & brush fires. This allows it to get to where normal vehicles are unable to reach. The community donated enough money to purchase the UTV at a cost of over $10,000. Deckerville Fire Department would like to thank everyone for their continued support!
