Sunday, your Galien Township Firefighters updated our CPR training with the latest American Heart Association curriculum. Thank you Three Oaks Ambulance for providing the training!

Monday nights training session included preparing for this years field and grass fire season. Early spring is the peak for outside fires due to the fire being able to spread rapidly in the underbrush and vegetation before it greens up for the year.

We would also like to use this time as a reminder that all opening burning in Michigan requires a burn permit. For more information on open burning please look here https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/egle/Documents/Programs/AQD/Open-Burning/Open-Burning-Brochure.pdf?rev=a4d5e695bac943bf8b8d42ec78eddbcd Burn permits can be obtained from the township website galientownship.org

Last night, just before 9:00pm we responded to assist Three Oaks with a structure fire.

We are always happy to help and ready to serve - even when that means missed parties, ball drops, New Year’s Eve celebrations and crawling into bed after 3:00am to warm up.

It’s a privilege to serve! And if we are needed today we’ll do it all over again.

Hoping you all have a safe and Happy New Year.

Some great work in our neighboring county. The perfect blend of technology, dispatchers, and police, fire & EMS responders.

A job well done with a fantastic outcome that nearly wasn’t.

An automatic crash alert saved a life when no one called 911. See how Dispatcher Janie Myers used RapidSOS to send help in 13 seconds, pulling Jeff Freed from a burning truck.

Yesterday morning we trained with Bertrand Township on Long Hose Lays and Pump Operations / Relay Pumping.

Our response areas both have long driveways where this 5” hose evolution is necessary.

12 years ago we took delivery of materials for the new fire station. Man, time flies.
