Fire Station Community Room
The Danbury Township Fire Station located at 7870 East Harbor Road (SR 163) is a working fire station. It is probable that fire and EMS calls will occur while the meeting room is being used. Therefore, the Danbury Township Board of Trustees have made the determination that requests for use of this meeting will be shifted first to the Township Hall Meeting Room. Should the hall meeting room be unavailable, the fire station meeting room, if available, may be used for the following purposes: local homeowner association meetings, state and local boards and local non-profit organizations. Parties, weddings and the like are not permitted for this room. The trustees have further determined that groups which have regular meetings that include children under the age of 18 may not use the fire station meeting room due to the danger involved with active fire and EMS vehicles.
