Today’s opening of the new Livingston County EMS substation in Pinckney today will greatly reduce response time to southwest Livingston County.
“The opening of our new EMS base in Putnam Township marks an important milestone in our continued effort to strengthen emergency medical services across Livingston County,” said EMS Deputy Director Amy Chapman. “This project would not have been possible without the unwavering support and financial commitment of the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, whose leadership made this investment in our community’s safety a reality.”
Livingston County EMS’ partnership with Putnam Township public safety was instrumental in the construction of the base and the ongoing collaboration will serve residents well.
“We are deeply grateful to Putnam Township for welcoming us with open arms and partnering with us throughout this process. This base has been a long time coming, and we couldn’t have reached this point without the collaboration and dedication of so many along the way,” said Chapman.
Chief Curt Ruff of the Putnam Fire Department and Putnam Township Valerie Niemiec said their community is excited about the opening of the new EMS base, located on the campus with the Putnam Township Hall and Fire Department.
“The collaborative work put in by County, Township, and Emergency Service Officials brought forward the first EMS base located within the Township in over 30 years,” Ruff and Niemiec said in a joint statement. “We look forward to our continued collaboration and partnership to ensure proper response for emergency services to Putnam Township, Village of Pinckney, and the neighboring communities for years to come.”
