🚒 Exciting news for Springfield Township Fire Department!

Together with Highland Township Fire Department and Hartland-Deerfield Fire Authority, we’ve been awarded a regional FEMA grant totaling $860,000 for new firefighter breathing equipment!

Springfield Township will receive 23 new Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units—the air packs our firefighters depend on when entering smoke-filled buildings and other dangerous environments.

Our Township Board voted unanimously to accept the grant and purchase the additional equipment needed to complete our department’s new system. Together, this represents a 15-year investment in our department, firefighter safety, and the protection of our community.

Thank you to FEMA, our partner departments, and everyone who helped secure this funding. A special thank-you to our Township Board for their unanimous support and commitment to keeping our firefighters equipped and ready to serve! 🚒

The Springfield Township Fire Department recently conducted training focused on commercial building operations. Crews reviewed building construction, fire walls and fire separations, along with tactics and strategies for operating in commercial occupancies. The training also included hands-on hose line advancement to reinforce safe and effective fire attack inside larger buildings. Continuous training like this helps ensure our firefighters are prepared to protect our community and local businesses.

We’re proud to share some new equipment that’s already making a difference in our community.

Thanks to the continued support of our Township Board, the Springfield Township Fire Department has been able to purchase new LifePak 35 cardiac monitors. These tools allow our crews to deliver faster, more accurate care during cardiac emergencies and help improve outcomes for our patients.

When seconds matter, having reliable, up-to-date equipment matters. This investment directly supports our mission to provide the best possible care for our residents when they need us most.

We’re grateful for leadership that believes in public safety and for a community that stands behind its firefighters and EMS providers. Thank you for helping us stay ready to serve.
