The tower ladder recommendation could lead to a major future investment in Millcreek’s fire response equipment, but the minutes do not state that the purchase has been finalized. The commission approved a township-wide operating procedures manual, despite concerns raised about amendments, implementation, and volunteer recruitment. It also approved a municipal junior cadet firefighter program, while proposals involving relief-association funds and a municipal volunteer firefighter program were tabled.
