Dunk Tank - Need Help to Finish or Book Your Event!!!

Hello again everyone.

You will be in awe of the work done so far on the dunk tank. We still need some help finishing it up this next week, June 1st to the 4th. The truck has had all the rust removed and replaced, some new panels and electrical redone and the cab has been repainted. We still need the tank repainted and the new headlight brackets put back on and the tread plate painted. We are hoping to have it for a test run on the 9th.

If anyone has an event you would like to have the truck at you need to contact me
(Mike at 517-937-5527) for the use of it. It is being booked quickly.

Please contact Mike if you can help at 517-937-5527. Work usually starts at 9:00am and ends at 4:00pm. (Look for the paved drive going uphill on the East side of the T intersection of 33rd st. and H avenue).
thank you all, Mike

Chesterfield Township Fire Fighters Fundraiser!


We all know Dawn...
Hmmm the camp trickster!

Chesterfield Twp. Fire Fighters Union Local 4011
is doing a fundraiser to collect $3,000.00 or more
in donations to help send children to the Great Lakes Burn Camp.
The camp is a great place that provides a sense of acceptance
and belonging to these “burn survivors”,
and a place where they are able to “just be kids”.

Lt. Murphy/Shaw has volunteered at the camp for over 7 years.
She was asked by one of the children last year if she would shave her head.
She agreed and the decision was made to put on
this fundraiser.

On August 22nd, 2010
Lt. Murphy/Shaw

will have her head shaved
at the Great Lakes Burn Camp in Kalamazoo MI,
by children of the camp.
