The partners in this initiative are Hart City, Hart Township, Weare Township and Golden Township.  The physical location is in Hart City.  Each partner contributes annually based on the established budget.  Department staff is totally volunteer.  Cost savings for the participants are significant when facilities and equipment are considered.  

Update 1-30-2013:  the partners began a re-write of the original 1966 Fire Administrative Board Agreement in 2012 to assure compliance with State statutes and to clarify certain provisions.  Currently, the partners are reviewing a near-final amended Agreement and expect a new Agreement to be in place within 60 days.

Update 1-30-2014:  Golden Township withdrew from the Hart Area Fire Department effective July 1, 2014 citing a desire to construct fire barn facilities within their jurisdiction and recruiting volunteers therein.  The surviving parties (Hart Township, Hart City, Weare Township) have reached consensus on a new agreement.
