ALPENA — With only two full-time firefighters working for the Alpena Township south side fire station, township trustees this week wondered what would happen if one or both of them became ill or injured.
Fire Chief Dave Robbins said that, right now, there are no concrete plans to address that possibility and his belief is that the Alpena Fire Department or other neighboring townships would help if needed.
