The Michigan Storm Chasers Weather Camera Network is back and better than ever! If you recall - back in February, YouTube changed their policy regarding how many live streams one channel could host. This shut down our camera network feeds suddenly, and we were left with no choice but to pivot.

Over the last 6 months, we have spent numerous hours researching, talking with IT companies, network engineers, etc.. with little to no progress.

In June, we finally had a breakthrough moment courtesy of our in house developer - Ryder, where we were able to build a custom website to host and send all of our camera feeds to.

This dashboard is now the home of our public weather cameras and where you can go now to view any camera you wish.

Please note, loading feeds does take bandwidth, and bandwidth is not unlimited. Therefore, we may see disruptions if enough viewer traffic occurs at one given time. We will scale this as necessary based on viewer demands.

In the meantime, go nuts!

CAMP SAUBLE IS THE PLACE TO BE THIS OCTOBER!

Think you’re brave?
Think you can handle the dark?
Think you won’t scream?

Yeah… we’ll see about that.

Come support the Free Soil–Meade Fire Department as the old Camp Sauble prison is transformed into CAGES OF CARNAGE! ⛓️🩸

You’re getting TWO completely different haunts on opposite sides of the prison! Choose one or choose both!

🚨 PRISON-BREAK 🚨
The inmates are loose… and apparently nobody bothered to tell them visitors were coming. 😳

😱 NIGHT TERRORS 😱
You know those things you’re afraid of when the lights go out?
Yeah. We found them. ALL OF THEM.

But here’s the best part—you can choose your adventure:

VOLUNTEER!
Come be part of the madness! Scare people, make them scream, laugh when grown adults suddenly discover they can run REALLY fast, and help us make this haunt unforgettable.

OR…

☠️ COME GET SCARED!
Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring that one person who claims, “Haunted houses don’t scare me.”
We especially want that person. 😂

📍 Camp Sauble – Free Soil, Michigan
October 10, 16 & 17, 23 & 24

🩸 CAGES OF CARNAGE 🩸
Two haunts. One old prison. A whole lot of screaming.

Attention Freesoil Township and Mason County residents! 🚫🔥
Before you start any clearing or yard cleanup today, please be aware that Mason County is currently shaded in brown on the daily map, which means open debris burning is NOT permitted anywhere within the county—including Freesoil Township.
Because fire risks and weather conditions change daily, the [Michigan DNR Burn Permits Map](https://www.dnr.state.mi.us/burnpermits/) updates every morning by 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Please check the guidelines below before considering any fire:
# # 🗺️ Quick Map Key Breakdown

*
* 🟫 Brown (Current Status): Open debris burning is strictly prohibited county-wide.
* 🟩 Green: Open burning is permitted, and debris fires are allowed if proper precautions are taken.
* 🟧 Orange: Burn permit restrictions are active. Residents must select the county to see specific township rules.
*

# # ⚠️ Responsibility & Legalities

*
* State Law: Burning yard debris without checking and securing a daily permit is a violation of state law.
* Personal Liability: You are fully responsible for all damages, containment costs, and legal liabilities if a fire escapes your control.
* Exemptions: Recreational campfires and cooking fires generally do not require a debris permit, but must still be strictly monitored.
*

# # 📞 How Freesoil Residents Can Verify Daily Status
Do not risk a massive wildfire or an expensive fine. Always verify before you burn:

1. Visit the digital lookup at [Michigan.gov/BurnPermit](https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/managing-resources/forestry/fire/burn-permit) and select Mason County from the menu.
2. If you do not have internet access, call the automated, interactive DNR line at 866-922-BURN (866-922-2876) to check status by speech or touch-tone.

Keep our beautiful corner of Michigan safe! Only you can prevent wildfires!

Today firefighters from the Free Soil/Meade Volunteer Fire Department trained on water handling and supply at Gunn Lake. This valuable training focused on efficient water operations, a crucial aspect of protecting our community. We gained excellent knowledge of how to best manage water resources during emergency situations. The hands-on approach allowed us to practice vital skills, ensuring we are better prepared for any incident. We appreciate the continued support from our community, which makes such professional development possible. 🚒
