}} Falls Township Volunteer Fire Department Inc.Falls Township Volunteer Fire Department Inc. is located in Muskingum County, Ohio west of Zanesville, Ohio. Falls Township Fire Department is a combination part-time/volunteer department that provides fire protection and EMS for Falls Township and Muskingum Township. Falls Township operates out of three stations and has a fleet consisting of two fire engines, three dual purpose fire engine/rescues, one aerial ladder platform, three brush fire trucks, three ALS ambulances, two utility vehicles, and two boats. HistoryFalls Township Volunteer Fire Department Inc. was established in 1963. Before that time Falls Township was protected by Zanesville Fire Department, National Trail Fire Department, and Frazeysburg Fire Department. The first fire station was built by the township hall at 3095 Dillon Falls Road, Zanesville, Ohio, which is still the current Station 301. The original building was a two bay building that housed a fire engine and a tanker truck. The first fire engine was a 1962 John Bean on a Ford chassis and was numbered Engine #1. That truck was in service until 1999 when it was replaced by a new engine. The tanker truck was number Tanker #2 which was built from an old fuel truck. As the township grew the department found a need to add on to the station. In the early 1970s two more bays were added to the back of Station 301, and in 1972 Engine #5 was purchased. In 1981 the Muskingum Country Commissioner had the need to start an EMS program in the county. The county purchased ambulances for Falls Township Fire Department, Dresden Fire Department, Harrison Township Fire Department, and Washington Township Fire Department. Once again, there was a need to add on to Station 301. A lean to the length of the station was constructed onto the side of the station to house the ambulance. Today that area houses the brush fire truck, offices, and a day room/class room. In the mid-1980s there was a need to build a station in the northern portion of Falls Township. To meet this need Station 302 was built at 525 Richey Road, Zanesville, Ohio. Station 302 currently houses one fire engine/rescue, one ALS ambulance, one brush fire truck, and one boat.
