Atwater will temporarily extend fire department hours on weekends

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Atwater Fire Department will operate on an expanded schedule for the next two months, thanks to a 2-1 vote by township trustees.

The department has been staffed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays by one full-time member and a revolving roster of part-timers. After hearing a proposal by Assistant Fire Chief Jay Brock, trustees approved extending department hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends as well.
