	1964 – Sheridan and Albion townships organized a joint fire department called Sheridan Albion Township Fire Department. Prior to this, the townships housed their fire trucks at the Albion city fire station and they provided 1 full time fire fighter per shift. The station was located at our current location at 29 mile road and C Drive North. Jerry Sandusky was the first Chief, Harold Wilbur and Don Bienz were full time fire fighters. 1972 – Harold Wilbur becomes Chief 1988 – Harold Wilbur retires and Jerry Macqueen becomes Chief 1994 – Sheridan and Albion Township dissolve the Sheridan Albion Township fire department.
