Since the late 1980's Lansing Township and Delta Township had automatic fire response for all reported structure fires. The savings to both Departments is substantial, avoiding the cost of hiring new fire-fighters through attrition. Also the benefit of two local government fire departments harmoniously working side by side for more than two decades is tantamount to cost savings.
This automatic response agreement has saved Lansing Township approximately $200,000 annually in salaries and benefits because we did not have to hire 4 additional personnel that are supplied when needed by Delta Township.
