PRESS RELEASE

We would like to send a huge thank you to Todd Hendy, Fire Chief from Charter Township of Lansing, and his department for the generous donation of a new-to-us pumper-tanker. Along with our BIG SURPRISE of an SUV emergency vehicle to be used by the department.

Another thank you goes to Denny Hughes from Belfor for helping arrange these kind of donations.

Thank you to the community members that were able to come out and thank you to the Pickford Co-Op for the donation of water and donuts.

Our department would be nothing without the volunteer firefighters that run to the rescue when called upon and our communities support.
