Sort of. After 10 years of service, they are eligible for a pension. They also have 180 firefighters. Allen Park has 27.

Our fire department is a lot volunteer and some paid. Here's the link to the history http://www.valleycityfire.com/siteco...x/page/History It's actually pretty interesting I had a friend who was a volunteer. He lived about a mile away and when on call he just hung out at home.

We do have an ongoing joke that if your house ever catches on fire you better grab the marshmallows on the way out

We have a city about 5 miles away that has a full fire department. It's not ideal but if we had to we could always use them too.
