The fire that destroyed a down-
town Plymouth Fire Station last
Sunday morning has created new
fire response protocols for
Plymouth Township and the City
ofNorthville.
Announced this week in an
inter-departmental letter titled
Automatic-Fire Mutual Aid
Response, the new plan calls for
the 12-member Plymouth
Township Fire Department to
render mutual aid and respond to
fires in the City of Plymouth as
well as in their own community.
Northville and Plymouth
Township fire chiefs along with
Plymouth
Public
Safety
Director/Police Chief Alan Cox,
distributed and signed the letter.
The City of Northville Fire
Department currently handles
fire emergencies in the City of
Plymouth under a joint contractu-
al agreement.
In a press release distributed
last Tuesday following the week-
end fire, Plymouth City Manager
Paul Sincock described the paid
on-call firefighters as, “communi-
ty volunteers.” The release said
Plymouth Township had offered
use of the Lake Pointe Fire
Station to store Northville Fire
Department-City of Plymouth
apparatus. Sincock said “as a tem-
porary location for city fire opera-
tions.” The press release said that
fire administration of both cities
have worked out an automatic
mutual aidprocedure.
The policy letter says both
departments, Northville and
Plymouth Township, will be dis-
patched immediately upon
receiving a report of a structure
fire in either community.
The document also stated both
fire departments would be dis-
patched upon receipt of a fire
alarm or smoke alarm at named,
“high risk facilities” including,
Independence Village, Tonquish
Manor, Medi-Lodge's and
HeartlandHealthCare centers.
The new directive sent out
within days of the press release,
calls for the fire departments in
Northville and Plymouth
Township, to provide automatic
fire mutual and to respond with a
minimum of “one firefighting
apparatus and a minimum of four
personnel.”
Four firefighters would be the
entire Plymouth Township shift,
leaving both the fire stations in
that community empty during an
incident in another community.
Plymouth Township Fire
Department serves the 28,000
township residents, while the City
of Northville Fire Department is
responsible for 6,000 city resi-
dents plus the 9,000 City of
Plymouth residents. The
Northville Fire Department is
made up of 45 paid on-call fire-
fighters. All 12 Plymouth
Township firefighters are certi-
fied Advance Life Support para-
medics. Plymouth and Northville
do not have Advanced Life
Support services.
