Green Oak receives new rescue boat thanks to Firehouse Subs grant
The Green Oak Township Fire Department has received a brand new rescue boat thanks to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, whmi.com reported. The new boat was delivered to the Main Fire Station 81 Wednesday, Feb. 21.
The 15-foot inflatable rescue boat can be launched from a boat ramp, backed down a hill with a trailer, or picked up by six firefighters and taken into the backyard of whatever lakefront property might be having a problem.
The department covers Whitmore Lake, which is a large lake with public access, as well as many private lakes that don’t have public access but have waterfront homes and lots of people using them, according to the report. It also covers the Huron River, which runs through the Island Lake State Recreation Area, all the way to the end of the township before flowing into Hamburg Township.
