Westfield Washington Township has purchased two pieces of extrication rescue equipment for Westfield Fire Department Station 82 to replace its older equipment. The Westfield Fire Department provides fire service for Westfield Washington Township residents who live in the unincorporated areas of the township (outside of city limits).
Westfield Washington Township Trustee Danielle Carey Tolan said, “I want to ensure that the station has the latest equipment to quickly assist our residents if they encounter an emergency needing where extrication is needed.”
The firefighters will train on the new equipment to make sure they are prepared if the need arises.
“The Westfield Fire Department is grateful for this donation and for the ongoing support from Trustee Tolan,” said Westfield Fire Chief Marcus Reed. “We are blessed to be in a community that contributes to ensure our firefighters have the gear and technology to serve our residents.”
