A contract between Medina and Medina Township to dissolve the township's fire department is expected to be approved this week, leaving township firefighters and residents confused.
Township officials cite cost savings but firefighters say there has been little information and the merger is not necessary.
The township fire department has been around for decades, employing a varying number of part-time firefighters during the daytime. While there is not a fire crew on staff overnight, there is 24-hour coverage, township fire captain Mark Roberts said Monday.
