MAKING HIS POINT –East Franklin Volunteer Fire Department Chief Dan Krushinski gestures as he speaks to the Fire District 3 Commissioners during the June 11 Commission hearing.
The Franklin Fire District 3 Board of Commissioners on June 11 granted a 60-day reprieve to the East Franklin Volunteer Fire Department to allow time for the two groups to compromise on a contract that EFVFD command has refused to sign, and which refusal threatens to shut down the 65-plus member fire department.
The fire company was looking at a June 30 deadline to sign the contract, which expired on March 30, or face the removal of all apparatus and gear and a shutdown of the department. Such a move would affect fire service for about 30,000 township residents in the department’s roughly 5-square-mile service area.
