Green Oak Township (MI) Proposes New Fire Station

 
 

The Green Oak Township Board will consider a proposal to hire an architectural firm to lead construction of a new station at Wednesday's meeting.   

Aspects like the new station's size are still being determined, but a needs assessment indicated it will at least have a larger training room, space for the fire marshal division and adequate room for fire trucks, Gentry said. 

"The fire marshal works out of a converted closet," he said. "To work on a truck, we have to pull a different truck outside."

Conway (SC) New High-Tech Fire Apparatus Delivered

Personnel from the Pierce Company’s dealer in Summerville predicted the arrival time for the city’s new $950,000 aerial fire truck for 11 a.m. When the truck wasn’t there then, Conway Fire Chief Le Hendrick texted the drivers and found them at a convenience store near Pitt’s Landing where they had stopped to clean the new aerial truck so it would look its best when it pulled into the porte coterie of the Conway Public Safety building.  

Hendrick said the truck, that was part of a four-year deal with three annual payments, will be helpful for the Conway fire personnel, who will be able to maneuver the shorter truck in tighter spaces.

The truck will be housed in East Conway where it is needed to rush past students, their cars and in narrow streets; however, the truck, with its superior technology, will respond to all areas of the city.
