🚒 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! 🚒
