04/04/2022

Taymouth Fire Rescue responded to 15 incidents in the month of March:
8 medical
2 motor vehicle accidents
2 down power lines
2 tress down in roadway
1 Residential fire alarm

Some of you may have noticed a difference when you call for a burn permit over the phone. If you chose to call for a permit all you need to do is leave your name first and last, address where the burning will take place, and phone number where you can reached at. Once you leave the message you have a permit that is good for 14 days and follow burning rules. You can also go to the Township website and fill out the online burn permit form as well and is easy to do.

April Showers bring May flowers. Stay dry and safe friends.

Last summer from the light poles in Birch Run, 25 colored vinyl banners (24" x 48') with photos were hung honoring "Hometown Heroes" from the Birch Run area. The banners hung from late spring until fall. The program was conducted by the Birch Run VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Working with families and/or friends, the program was to recognize those who served, either living or deceased, in our military, who volunteered or took part in various areas to betterment of our nation and the Birch Run area. The Taymouth Firefighters Association sponsored two of their own that served the community and fire service.

Seen here are (left to right) Taymouth Fire Maintenance Sgt. Marc Schrubbe and Safety Officer Mike Prueter, hanging the banners of the late Howard Frye (left), Navy WWII Vet and Rich Lambert (right), Army in the Taymouth fire station. Both dedicated their life to serving as a firefighter. Both were military veterans, plus active in their respective churches, Taymouth Historical Association, The American Legion and VFW.

The program will be repeated in 2021, with applications being accepted. Contact Fran Daniels for more information at 989-624-5623 or email [email protected]

Numerous severe storms expected this afternoon with all severe hazards including damaging wind gusts around 70 mph or greater, large hail up to one inch, and a few tornadoes.
Thunderstorms will be moving fast today, which means you may have less time than usual to react and seek shelter when a warning is issued. This is especially important to keep in mind for more vulnerable places, like mobile homes, during severe weather. Consider executing your safety plans when a watch is issued and seek more substantial shelter.

James "Jim" Grant, age 63, long time former Taymouth Firefighter passed away after a lengthy illness on Thursday, April 9th, at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw. He had 12 years of service on the department from (1997 - 2009). He was very active in both the department and the Taymouth Firefighters Association and served as the Department's Safety Officer for a number of years. He liked telling stories over a cup of coffee after calls and always loved to talk his MSU Vs. U of M sports. A truck driver by trade, he put his experience to work as a excellent driver and pump operator. He was very proud of his daughter, Beth, as she followed her father onto the department and then into the medical field.

Jim will be laid to rest Thursday, April 16th, in the Birch Run Twp Cemetery. A memorial service will take place at a later date at St. Martin's Lutheran Church in Birch Run.
