Delta County Firefighters Help Train With Other Departments

Volunteers Training

Every community needs firefighters and a dedicated crew of first responders. Delta County is a rural place with beautiful waterfront and lots of opportunity. Full time firefighters are often connected with local public safety and a wider group of volunteers. Escanaba Township Fire Department engages in a lot of free training for and with the other departments in the area. The department is centrally located and often donate older equipment to small area departments when they can raise enough funds to buy newer equipment. 

For example, they received a donated truck but need to cover the expenses so that is an opportunity to get a placard on it or something showing your company's patronage. So if your a company and/or government entity that has a few extra bucks Escanaba Township Fire Department would be one of the best places to donate (I keep thinking a regional training yard for police, fire departments, and other uses would be helpful but that is just an opinion. One would have to get into the feasibility issues. We are located next to the National Forest, Water, Ice, Rural, etc...making for multi environmental training opportunities.). Many of the other departments would also be more than willing I'm sure to update their equipment and training opportunities. Volunteers are also needed!
