“It would be very beneficial to Fife Lake Township to go out on their own,” said Nicole Gibson, resident of Fife Lake.
Another township has decided to leave the Grand Traverse Rural Fire Department.
It's a decision Fife Lake Township has been actively weighing for the last six weeks.
Green Lake, Blair, Grant and Long Lake have already left the department.
Decisions that haven't come easily, but ones that board members believe is in the best interest of their communities.
“We feel we can do this, not with an easy process, but with a process that is thought out,” said Linda Forwerck, Fife Lake Township Supervisor.
Fife Lake Township board members unanimously voted to withdraw from Grand Traverse Rural Fire. A decision that did not come lightly.
