The Fire Department of Liberty Township (FDLT) was formed on January 1, 2000. It was a cooperative effort of the Cartersburg, Clayton, and Belleville Volunteer Fire Departments. In 2006 the Hazelwood Volunteer Fire Department joined completing the merger of all four volunteer fire departments into one organization.  FDLT is primarily a volunteer organization that supplements our volunteers with paid part-time Firefighter / EMT's.  FDLT provides Fire, Rescue, EMS, Emergency Ambulance transport, Fire Prevention and Education services to approximately 6,000 citizens of Liberty Township and the Town of Clayton. Included in the 35 square miles that FDLT covers is Interstate 70, State Road 39, US 40, eight million square feet of industrial warehouse facilities, Cascade High School and Middle School complex and Mill Creek East Elementary. 

Fire Department of Liberty Township is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that contracts with the Liberty Township Trustee and the Town of Clayton to provide the services.
