Ross Township Fire Police Work With Ross Police to Keep You Safe Continued
Beyond manual traffic control, the Fire Police maintain a fleet
of generators they use to power traffic signals during electrical
outages. Even during a large scale loss of power caused by a
natural or manmade disaster, use of the Fire Police Generators
make it possible for traffic control signals to function in the major
arteries of our community until the utilities are restored.
Equipment and Manpower Coming Together
The combination of both dedicated personnel and critical
equipment enable the Ross Police and Fire Police to serve the
community effectively in any major incident.
Take for instance the late afternoon of February 14, 2016.
Following a multi-car collision spanning nearly a half mile of
McKnight Road, Ross Police needed the critical section from
Siebert Road to Babcock Boulevard closed during the busy
evening rush hour. Fire police rapidly went into action, staging
personnel at all key locations and managing traffic while officers
from the Ross Township Police Department’s Patrol, Traffic,
Detective, and Forensic Divisions conducted the investigation and
accident reconstruction. When damage to a utility pole caused
by the accident required power to be shut off, the Fire Police were
able to utilize generators to keep traffic signals up and running in
the impacted area.
