Police Chief Kevin Meyer said they would replace four police vehicles, which the township traded to the dealer, Tri-Star Motors of Blairsville, for $24,000 total.

Supervisors also approved the purchase of three new police sport utility vehicles, totalling about $73,000 after trade-ins.Īccording to an invoice on the township's website, two of the vehicles will be marked and one unmarked. The Fire and EMS Department was created as part of a reorganization of the township's public safety functions in early 2017. Garing replaces David Gallagher, who was appointed director of public safety in December 2016. “I am very eager to be part of the group and do some great things for the community and fire company.” “I am excited to be afforded the opportunity,” he said. Garing said he is excited about his new position.

The department works closely with - as the name implies - the fire company and EMS providers in the township and immediate vicinity. “We've been watching his career,” Andree said, referring to Garing's service in other fire and emergency management agencies, adding that he thinks Garing is the “right match” for the position. Jerry Andree, Cranberry township manager, said Garing's pedigree made him an obvious choice for the position. Garing, who also serves as chief of Harmony Fire District, recently was director of Quality EMS. The Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company strives to be a highly respected model of professional fire service delivery, with a sufficient number of competent, well-trained, well-equipped, active, and healthy members to meet the challenges and demands we may face, while delivering the best possible service to our community.Ĭranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company 20727 Route 19, Suite 21Įmergency Dial 911 Non-Emergency: 72 E-mail: © 2023 Firehouse Solutions (A Service of Technology Reflections, Inc.CRANBERRY TWP - Township supervisors Thursday hired Scott Garing as the township's chief of fire and emergency services.
