Exciting News from Nerstrand Fire and Rescue

Posted

We’re thrilled to announce that thanks to a generous gift from the Taylor Family Farms Foundation, along with support from the City of Nerstrand, the Waterford Warriors Snowmobile Club, Warsaw Township, and the Dennison Lions, we have officially added a new rescue truck to our fleet!

This truck, delivered last week and scheduled for upfitting in May, will replace our current ambulance and significantly boost our emergency response capabilities.

However, we’re not done yet. We are actively fundraising and applying for grants to equip the new vehicle with updated radios and modern extrication tools. Our current radios are at end-of-life and no longer supported, and our extrication equipment struggles with cutting into newer vehicles—leading to longer rescue times.

• New radios cost around $6,000 each

• Updated extrication tools are approximately $50,000

If you’d like to support this vital effort, please reach out to us or talk to any of our firefighters. Every contribution helps save lives.

Thank you for your continued support!
