Have a Safe and Happy New Year
The officers and members of the Springfield Fire Company would like to wish everyone a happy and safe new year. As we begin 2025 we would like to look back at a busy year for the fire company. We have some new officers and have kept some experienced officers for the upcoming year. Below are some highlights for 2024 and the incoming fire officers. We are excited because our new Tower is scheduled to arrive by the end of the year. Without the Township Commissioners and the community this would not have been possible. State Representative Jen O’Mara is securing a grant to purchase all the new equipment for the truck saving the taxpayers over $100,000. We want to thank her for her efforts.
