After decertifying the township’s lone fire company, Plymouth Twp. leaders say they are negotiating with officials in neighboring towns to provide fire coverage and have no plans to reconsider their decision to stop using Plymouth Twp. Fire and Rescue.
“We can’t afford that fire hall,” Supervisor Joseph Yudichak said. “It’s not been an easy decision.”
That’s not what many people attending Monday’s supervisors meeting wanted to hear as the gathering ended with Supervisor Gale Conrad banging her gavel to adjourn during a heated argument over the topic.
“We’ll let you know in November,” township resident Mark McHugh, 59, shouted, a reference to the upcoming election that has become a hot topic since two firefighters of the department announced write-in bids to unseat two of the three supervisors.
