The Alamo Fire Department building has grey siding with 3 white overhead doors that face West. The office area has a bay window and is mostly tan brick. Both sections of the departments roof are peaked with asphalt shingles.
Taken from their website:"Alamo Township Fire Department is a paid-on-call department located 5 miles northwest of the City of Kalamazoo, Michigan. We are a rural community that is 36 square miles in size with a combination of residential, agricultural, industrial, and commercial properties. Our response area also covers the U.S. 131 expressway which is a major transportation artery between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. We currently have 21 very dedicated and highly trained personnel providing fire suppression, fire prevention, and emergency medical services to approximately 4600 permanent residents. Although we don’t have 24-hour staffing at our fire station, we are available to assist the community at any moment. For Fire or Medical Emergency, DIAL 911 where we will be dispatched by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff Department. For Non-Emergency assistance, call the fire station at 269-345-3010.

The Department's goal is to provide a safe and effective fire department for the community. We believe we have worked hard and will continue to work hard to achieve new goals and ensure a safe community.
