Portage Township Fire Department Curtis, MI

06/05/2026

Today the Portage Township Fire Department attended the Three Lakes Academy last day of school field day for some fun! Every year we try to be bigger and better with this event and so far we’ve succeeded! This year we recruited help from the Newton Township Fire Department. They assisted us with water supply as well as spraying the kids! It’s always a great time and we can’t wait until next year! As always, thank you three lakes academy for allowing us to come do this, it’s definitely a highlight for the year! We would also like to thank our members, as well as the Newton Township Fire department for taking time out of your day to bring some joy to the community!

Avoid outdoor burning today. Immediately report any wildfires
to local emergency services by calling 911.

Congratulations to firefighters Emmet Dumas, and Steven Burton for completing the fire instructor 1 course! Both of them took this class with the grand vision on bettering Portage Township Fire department and themselves! This course when certified gives them the opportunity to teach firefighter I&II classes as well as teach at the department level during trainings! This course is a prerequisite for Fire officer 1 which both of them will be attending in a few weeks!

In the class they attended, there were firefighters from Bay mills Twp, Dafter Twp, Soo Twp, Autrain Twp, Tuscarora Twp, and city of Cheboygan fire departments! Congratulations to all!
