Today, the Edwardsburg Fire Department family would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Firefighter Kayly Probost and Firefighter Austin Antisdel on their marriage! 👰🚒🤵
The fire service is built on more than emergency response — it is built on brotherhood, family, commitment, and standing beside one another through every challenge and milestone life brings. Behind every firefighter is a strong support system made up of family, friends, and fellow firefighters who understand the sacrifices, long nights, missed holidays, and dedication that come with serving our communities.
Kayly and Austin’s relationship is a reminder of the strong bonds that are formed within the fire service family. We are proud to celebrate not only two outstanding firefighters, but two incredible people beginning a new chapter together surrounded by love and support.
From all of us at Edwardsburg Fire Department, we wish you both a lifetime filled with happiness, strength, laughter, and unforgettable memories together.

🚨 PRESS RELEASE – STRUCTURE FIRE RESPONSE 🚨
Earlier today, the Edwardsburg Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the area of Davis Lake Street in Jefferson Township. While fire units were responding, the incident quickly evolved into an active law enforcement situation involving an armed subject. Based on information provided by law enforcement, fire apparatus and personnel were directed to stage at the intersection of M-62 and Davis Lake Road until the scene could be secured for firefighter safety.

During the extended staging operation, mutual aid assistance was requested to help provide coverage and support operations. Edwardsburg Fire was assisted by:

Clay Fire Territory
Howard Township Fire Department
Central Cass Fire Department

According to information released by the Cass County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the residence after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting an armed subject at the home. The suspect fled the residence on foot into a wooded area north of the property, leading to a large-scale law enforcement response involving multiple agencies. The situation later escalated into an officer-involved shooting near Pine Lake Street and Harris Street following an exchange of gunfire with responding officers.

Once law enforcement secured the area, fire crews were cleared to enter the scene at approximately 3:00 PM. Firefighters extinguished what remained of the residence and conducted overhaul operations to ensure the fire was fully contained.

No firefighters were injured during the incident.

Edwardsburg Fire would like to thank all assisting agencies for their professionalism, coordination, and support during a very dynamic and challenging incident.

We also appreciate the patience and cooperation of the community as emergency personnel worked to ensure the area was safe.

The incident remains under investigation by the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
