Plymouth Township officials have
allowed Fire Chief MarkWendel to hire four
on-call volunteers to work full time shifts at
the two remaining open fire stations in the
township.
Following a recent fire and roof rescue
operation in Lake Pointe plagued by equip-
ment failures and shortage of adequateman-
power. Wendel ordered the 12 volunteers to
work. In both situations, Plymouth Township
called for Mutual Aid from Northville
Township. The cost for that service, in each
case, will be billed toPlymouthTownship.
Starting last Monday, Wendel scheduled
four men per shift to report to work between
8 a.m. and 8 p.m. at each of the two open sta-
tions; one on Haggerty Road and the other
on Beck Road. The Lake Pointe station
remains closed.
Because the volunteers have no medical
training or medical licenses they will not be
allowed to work on EMS runs but can help
clean up at the stations and ride along as
observers, a fire department observer said.
They are considered "in training."
Under the new township work schedule
volunteers will be paid $15 per hour for up
to 60 hours per week while on duty at the
station, and $23 per hour for off station runs.
This exceeds the $21 per hour average cost
for the remaining full-time Plymouth
Township experienced firefighter para-
medics who hold medical licenses and pro-
vide advanced life support.
The volunteers received their new fire
gear onSaturday.
