About the Fire Department

In other news, our firefighter membership has grown and we now have several probationary members that have been working very hard to complete the extensive requirements necessary and soon we’ll be 20 members strong. The calls for service have continued to increase with 2021 having a record breaking 532 calls for service.

In other big news and after a year in the making, we’ve finally received our latest addition to our apparatus fleet. The 2021 Rosenbauer Fire Engine will take the place of our current primary engine (Engine 1), which was built in the year 2000. We have the new 5 Engine 1 in service to help with the protection of life and property of the community. Please feel free to stop by the station and take a look at the new fire engine and the entire fleet.

Our fire department members have been and currently continue to be committed to providing emergency services to you as a community. We not only provide fire suppression but medical first response, vehicle extrication, search and rescue, ice water rescue, hazardous materials (operational level) and fire prevention.

If you are interested in becoming a trained Firefighter, EMT, or Medical First Responder and are willing to dedicate a small portion of your life to community service, please contact our Chief, Steve Adams via email or call the township office 231-882-4411, ext.16.
