5/23/13 - Five of Fenton Townshipâs firefighters are getting extra training this spring to join the departmentâs dive team in the summer. The new firefighters were in Flint this week to practice safety procedures and get specialized instruction for joining the dive team. The Tri County Times reports that in March, the Fenton Township Board of Trustees approved a proposal from the Fenton Fire Chief to train and equip more dive team members. That proposal came after two drownings occurred in Fenton Township last year. More dive team members would mean a faster response to emergencies in local lakes during the swimming and boating season. The five firefighters will be ready for open-water diving by June 8th. (TD)
