Big news for regional public safety: Monroe Township Fire Department has received a $320,000 grant from Williams to help build a comprehensive training facility in Johnstown.

The planned complex will give our firefighters and neighboring departments more opportunities for realistic, hands-on training in fighting fires, search and rescue, ventilation, aerial ladder operations and specialized rescue disciplines. Training closer to home also means less travel, lower costs, and more personnel and equipment available in our response area.

We are grateful to Williams for investing in the people who work every day to keep our communities safe. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.
