Summit Township fire department hosts annual ball to recognize first responders

VIDEO: The Summit Township Firefighter Ball took place on Saturday at the Commonwealth Commerce Center, marking the seventh year of the event that recognizes first responders in the community.

First responders and their families were served dinner and danced at the annual event. Ticket proceeds from the ball go toward different organizations and families throughout the community through the Local 13-06 Charity Fund.

โ€œI think the event is good because it brings the camaraderie of the two departments or joining the local,โ€ said Alex Watson, a City of Jackson firefighter. โ€œAnd brings everybody closer together and it again, also gives us the opportunity to donate to a coat drive or local charity funds throughout the city or Summit Township.โ€

Along with firefighters from the City of Jackson and Summit Township, first responders from across the state were also invited to the ball.
