The fire department used the funds to purchase new firefighting hose.
“We would like to take this opportunity to send a huge thank you to Fairfield Township resident and farmer Deb Brown for selecting the Fairfield Township Volunteer Fire Department to receive this wonderful donation, said Fire Chief Don Frey. We were able to purchase 450 feet of 2.5-inch hose and 700 feet of 1.5-inch hose, replacing some that was purchased as far back as 1978. We upgraded the 1.5-inch to the color coded, the hose matching the valve shut off for easier identification. It was a much needed upgrade and we are very appreciative.

Jackson Fire Department unveils new vehicles.
The fire department unveiled the four trucks Tuesday, which includes two tower trucks that can reach up to 100-feet, and two new engines with the latest technology in firefighting.
The vehicles were acquired through a lease-purchase program, which helped the city and the department pay for what they called “necessary upgrades to their equipment.”
“Our state of the art rescue pumpers, which will allow us to carry our extrication equipment. In case there’s a vehicle accident that may require extrication, all of our equipment will be on those units,” said Fire Chief Don Friddle.
