Planning to boat or operate an ORV? Don’t wait to earn the required recreational safety certificate.

Safety classes take place throughout the year and availability can vary. If you or a friend/family member need to get their certificate, start planning today.

*Hunting classes will begin picking up later in summer.

We’ve dropped some helpful resources in the comments to get you safety certified.

Firefighters from New Buffalo Township Fire Department , the New Buffalo City Fire Department , and Chikaming Township Chikaming Twp. Fire & Rescue recently conducted water rescue training on Lake Michigan. Proficiency in rescue boat operations and shore-based rescue techniques is critical for the safety of our communities. While we consistently advocate for safe practices around all bodies of water, emergencies can unfortunately occur. We greatly appreciate the diverse skill sets and expertise our firefighters contribute. Think before you enter the water or go near it.

As the weather warms up, remember that motorcycles are everywhere and can be harder to spot. Staying aware of your surroundings and following traffic laws keeps everyone safe. Let's all make an effort to look out for motorcycles now, so we can all enjoy our drives! 🏍️

Warm and dry conditions will persist through the weekend. The next chance for rain will be late next week. Couple those conditions with gusty winds and there is a recipe for any fire's to get out of control. Please be careful and check local burning restrictions. The biggest area of concern is along and north of the US 10 corridor.
