Fire Levy – Thank You!!
On behalf of the Orange Township Fire Department, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your overwhelming support of the recent levy renewal. This levy renewal will help ensure that we continue to provide the highest level of emergency services to all our residents, businesses, and visitors. It strengthens our ability to maintain and improve critical equipment, infrastructure, and resources. Most importantly, it ensures that we have the training, personnel, and tools necessary to respond swiftly and effectively when we are called upon.
Once again, thank you for your support and commitment to public safety. It is an honor to serve as your fire chief, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside you to keep our community safe.
-Nathan McNeil, Orange Township Fire Chief
