Macomb County has engaged neighboring communities to share emergency fire dispatch service resources and systems. The goal of this project was to implement the Macomb County Fire Dispatch solution for the Harrison Township Fire Department (HTFD) Washington Township Fire Department (WTFD) and Mount Clemens Fire Department (MCFD) municipalities. The successful implementation of consolidating the fire services would result in the increase in centralized management of fire services in the area.
