Fire Services Expected to Return to City of Plymouth Fire Station Tuesday

After a almost two months of repairs, the City of Northville Fire Department will move back into Plymouth Station on Tuesday, according to City Manager Paul Sincock. 

The station was significantly damaged when fire broke out on June 9, originating from a mini pumper fire truck. The truck’s value was estimated to be about $300,000 including all on-board equipment. 

Matt Leffler, the city's insurance attorney who is handling the truck investigation, said the incident was still under investigation and could not comment on a cause of the fire at this time.

Repairs have been going on for the past several weeks. In the meantime, fire services have been operating out of Plymouth Township's Station No. 2 on Wilcox Road.

City of Northville Fire Chief Jim Allen said the move added about a minute and a half to response times, but over all, has been working out well.

"We're very fortunate to have a station that close that we could utilize," Allen said. "It might have added a couple of minutes to a run, but that's it. It's been great to have."
