The Orion Township Board of Trustees has agreed to sign a revised North Oakland County Mutual Aid Interlocal Agreement, for the use of Hazardous Materials Response Units and equipment.
Trustees originally approved participation in the agreement in July 2003, and approved the revised agreement at their Feb. 17 meeting. The revisions came from fire chiefs organizing the teams, who felt the existing agreements were outdated.
The new agreement requires each community to contribute annual dues in order to help fund the purchase of specialized equipment and specialized training. Orion Township’s dues for this year are $3,000.
