Bloom Township Firefighters Association recently added a light tower, new electrical generator and traction devices to our Fire Engine. The cost of these additions total close to $30,000. The Light Tower and Generator were mounted and installed by the firefighters. The generator replaced a smaller unit which was purchased when the fire engine was new in 1985. The light tower gives 3500 watts of additional lighting to our night time operations. The traction control devices were added to assist us when road conditions are icy and snow covered. The cost for these improvements came from profits from the fish fry, donations from the American Legion and from individuals. We would like to thank everyone for their support!!!
