🚨🚒 NEW TRUCK ANNOUNCEMENT!

!! 🚒🚨

Yesterday marked a major milestone for the Chippewa Township Fire Department as the department officially signed the contract for a NEW E-ONE Engine, expected to be delivered in 2029!

This new engine will replace our 2003 KME, which has proudly served the residents of Chippewa Township and our surrounding communities for many years and continues to answer calls and serve our residents every day.

This project has been months in the making, and there are many people who deserve recognition for helping make this possible.

👏 First, we would like to thank our Township Officials for their support and assistance throughout this process:

• Township Manager Mark Taylor
• Assistant Township Manager Lauren Doyle
• Supervisor Brian Wright
• Supervisor Dan Woodske
• Supervisor Jim Bouril

We would also like to thank our entire membership for their involvement and support. Our members took the time to carefully consider the options and ultimately voted to move forward with E-ONE for the department’s next engine.

🚒 A special thank you goes to our Truck Committee, who worked tirelessly for many months to make this project a reality:

• Fire Chief Hunter Hagy
• President/Safety Officer Jason Gallagher
• Deputy Chief CJ Burawa
• Firefighter David Syka
• Captain Don Hagy
• Firefighter Jeff Sokol
• EMS Coordinator Chris Starkey
• Firefighter Brett Steinle
• Firefighter Justin Gantz
• Lieutenant Ryan Soisson

This committee dedicated countless hours researching, discussing, planning, and working through the many details that go into purchasing a new fire apparatus. They couldn’t be more proud to help bring this new engine to the Chippewa Township Fire Department and, ultimately, to the residents we serve.

🤝 Special Thank You to E-ONE Fire Trucks (Official Site), Advantech Service and Parts, Fire & Emergency Equipment, and Advantech Sales Representative Ricky Stewart for working with us throughout this process and helping make this new engine a reality.

Finally, THANK YOU to our entire community!

This truck would not be possible without the continued support of the residents, businesses, organizations, and community members who support the Chippewa Township Fire Department year after year. Your support allows us to continue investing in our people, our equipment, and our ability to serve our community.

The 2003 KME has a lot of history with this department, and while we still have several years before the new engine arrives, we’re excited to begin this next chapter.

One department. One community. One mission — to serve.

Stay tuned as we share more details and updates about the new E-ONE Engine throughout the build process!

THANK YOU, CHIPPEWA!!!
