The Brighton Township Volunteer Fire Department (BTVFD) provides fire protection services to Brighton Township.  All members serve strictly on a volunteer basis.  In 2002 the Department responded to 242 calls resulting in 3,198 hours of volunteer service. This does not include the hours spent by members on in-house training, fund raising or at monthly business meetings.

The Department has three fire stations, Station No. 1 located on Dutch Ridge Road, Station No. 2 on Tuscarawas Road, and Station No. 3 located on Grange Road.  The Department also has a Firemen's Social Hall used for Department and community events.  The Department also conducts fish fries at the Social Hall to raise funds for the Department.  Training is conducted every Monday evening at Station No. 3.  All men and women are invited to visit at that time if would like more information about joining.  The Department has a Junior Firefighter program for those age 16 and 17.
