Out with the old, in with the new E-45. The department members have completed multiple trainings and it has now been in service for over a week. The night it went into service we were privileged to bring it down to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital for Project Night Lights. Today the new engine ran it’s first call a minor traffic accident. The new engine is primarily used for traffic accidents, fire related calls and mutual aid fire calls. It has more storage space than the old engine which has allowed us to combine some rescue equipment from three trucks to the new one and purchase some new equipment.

We have been very pleased to be apart of several birthday drive by's, neighborhood parades, and other community events during this Covid 19 shutdown. Unfortunately due to an increase the past several weeks in out call volume, we are regretfully having to decline any further participation in such events. If you have made a previously arrangement for us to participate, we will do our best to fulfill those commitments (assuming we are not out on a call). We thank you for the understanding and continued support!
Stay safe! ...
