Working together to help each other out is a staple of fire departments in northern Macomb County, most of them volunteer based, and Richmond certainly wants to do its part.
The Richmond Volunteer Fire Department recently donated an enclosed trailer to the St. Clair County Firefighters Association.
The donation, which had to be approved by members of the city council, was a topic at an Oct. 7 meeting. City Manager Jon Moore said the firefighters association is an organization the city belongs to and uses for the training of all personnel going through firefighter 1 and 2 courses. The association also conducts other training throughout the county and is in need of a trailer to haul equipment for driving and hazmat training, as well as firefighter courses.
