Central Cass Fire Department

08/20/2026

Central Cass Fire Department would like to extend a sincere thank you to Enbridge for their support through the Safe Community First Responder Program.

Through this grant, our department was able to purchase new structural firefighting helmets for our firefighters, replacing aging equipment and making an important investment in the safety of our members.

Quality protective equipment is essential to what we do, but for a local fire department, replacing that equipment can also be a significant expense. Programs like this help departments like ours continue to provide our firefighters with the equipment they need while remaining good stewards of the communities we serve.

We greatly appreciate Enbridge’s continued investment in local first responders and their commitment to public safety.

Thank you, Enbridge, for supporting Central Cass Fire Department and our community.

Earlier today, Central Cass Fire responded to a gas line strike near East St. and Water St.

Out of an abundance of caution, nearby residents were temporarily evacuated while crews worked alongside the gas company to secure the leak.

The gas line has since been capped and there is no active leak at this time. Residents are able to safely return home while repair work continues in the area.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation during the incident.
