Your Northville Township Professional Firefighters are once again participating in American Lung Association’s “Fight for Air Climb”. This year however, we have decided to dedicate our climb in support of a friend of ours, Paisley Long.
We first met Paisley and her family in January of 2023, when they visited our firehouse for a tour. Paisley, like most 4-year-olds, loves firetrucks and emergency vehicles and couldn’t wait to see them in person. It was on this station tour that we learned of Paisley’s health issues.
Paisley was born with a congenital heart disorder called Scimitar Syndrome and one working lung. With odds stack against her, Paisley has fought like a warrior and won every day for the last 4.5 years. She is an inspiration to us all, and we are so happy to join Team Paisley.
We’re asking for your donations to American Lung Association and/or Team Paisley at gofundme.com/f/paisley-long.
Meet Paisley

Over two years ago we began working with the Northville Kiwanis, the Michigan DNR, The Berman Family, Masco and other local businesses and community members to built a state-of-the-art inclusive playground at the Maybury State Park Trailhead. We want to thank our supporters for their generous contributions and are excited to donate this park to the community.
Another great year working with Bridgepointe to Adopt-a-Classroom!
We were excited to take part in the donation of a special needs "Buddy" bike for a local family. Not only did we make a donation, but we were lucky enough to be part of the big reveal at Millennium Park. We hope you enjoy your bike Ben!
We were proud to take part in Northville High School's Varsity Baseball Team's Armed Forces Day on May 21, 2016. We donated 25 care packages to be shipped overseas to our active military. A big thank you to Northville Baseball for putting together such a great event. It is nice to see our youth giving back to those that are serving our country overseas. A big thank you to the United States Armed Forces for all that you do and for taking part of your Saturday to stop by in a Blackhawk helicopter.
We partnered with Beaumont Hospital and Northville High School to host the Student Heart Check on June 11, 2016. Beaumont screened almost 400 students and recommended that 52 students follow-up with their physicians, and 2 students stop athletic activity until they see a cardiologist. This program was designed to help identify dangerous cardiac rhythms and to identify students that have an underlying condition. Along with the screening, the Northville Township Firefighters taught over 600 students and adults how to perform Hands-Only CPR and use an AED. Thanks to Beaumont for helping put on such an awesome program!
We also made a $5,000 donation to the Beaumont Student Heart Check program to help bring this screening to other students across the state. Keep it up!
We were proud to partner with our local Meijer store and their Simply Give program to support the food bank at Civic Concern. With the Simply Give program guests can purchase gift cards that Meijer will match to the local food bank. During September 3-5, Meijer doubled their regular match which made our $2,500 donation a $7,500 Meijer gift card donation to Civic Concern. Great job everyone!

On Saturday, February 14, 2015 we hosted our 12th annual Fireman's Ball. Our organization made a committment to Northville High School to develop a student cardiac screening program for high school athletes. We are hoping to have this program up and running by the end of this school year and ready for the fall of 2016. Special thanks to NHS Principal Tony Koski and Athletic Director Bryan Masi.
We spent a great afternoon celebrating Christmas with the students of Ms. Taylor's 4th grade class at Maybury Elementary. In partnership with Bridgepointe we adopted Ms. Taylor's class and provided a fun afternoon with cookie decorating, making gifts for the students families and friends and more. We also made sure every child went home with school supplies, personal hygiene products, food for their family and of course, toys.
Special thanks to our wives, girlfriends, and family members for helping make this day special for both the students and for us.
It's a privilege to work with Sue Campbell and Northville Youth Assistance. They are always doing such positive things in the community. Thank you to the Northville Record for getting the word out. We donated over $350 in gift cards for NYA mentors to use during their volunteered time.
We recently began working with the Northville-based Main Street League (MSL) to support great local causes. In September, we donated to their 1st Annual Whiffle Ball Tournament to raise funds for a domestic violence shelter in the area. We are proud to have been a part of the event and look forward to continued work in the future.
