Lafayette Fire goes full time to cut response times
The Lafayette Township Fire Department switched to full time staffing with $58,000 CARES Act funds, adding 24/7 EMT coverage to reduce night response times. Chief Jerry Winkler says overall response improved by about six minutes and is 36 percent faster at night, aiding critical cardiac, stroke, or trauma calls. Half the staff now live outside the township, and veterans like Captain Michael Savetski note simpler, quicker on duty readiness.
