- Wendy DiAlesandro

Atwater Township Fire Department is gearing up for its centennial celebration Sept. 10, where there will be food venders, historical apparatus, and at least one extrication demo at the fire station, allowing viewers to see how the Jaws of Life operate.

The festivities are set for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at three locations in Atwater town center: Old School Park, 6660 Waterloo Road; at the fire station, 6570 Waterloo Road; and at Atwater Church of the Nazarene, 6720 Waterloo Road.
