According to the fire department, the average household in the township will pay an average of $87 more a year if the levy is approved.“We’re able to get a hose line deployed faster, do searches quicker, which ultimately saves more property and lives,” Chief Strazzo said.
19 News spoke to Brunswick Hills residents Wednesday, and people like Dawn Ferringer are in favor of the levy. “I think they definitely need more staff,” she said, “especially with all the new homes going up in Brunswick hills.”The department said its maintenance has become a challenge. “The international 466 engine is an obsolete engine,” Chief Strazzo explained. “Either the part has to be custom made or the vehicle has to be put out of service.”Residents like Karen McGreer aren’t worried about the time frame between levies: “It’s never too soon to keep our community safe...I absolutely support anything and everything for your community.”“We are fiscally responsible with your tax dollars, we want to ensure we can provide the highest level of service that we can.
