Ocqueoc Bearinger Fire Department

Ocqueoc Bearinger Fire Department First responders for Ocqueoc and Bearinger Townships, and assisting throughout Presque Isle County.

The Ocqeoc-Bearinger Fire Department is a group of volunteers, proudly committed to serving the citizens and visitors of Ocqueoc and Bearinger Townships by providing fire and EMS first responder services to the community. In 1980, the Huron Beach Area Fire Department was established. Volunteers had been available previously to fight fires, but until 1980 there had not been an organized fire depart

ment. Through the efforts of The Huron Beach Civic Association, funds were procured and the department's first apparatus, a government surplus 1972 LaFrance fire truck, was purchased. The department has grown much, and has since been renamed the Ocqueoc Bearinger Fire Department. We are supported through donations and with tax monies from both Ocqueoc and Bearinger Townships. If you are interested in learning about becoming a member of the Ocqueoc-Bearinger Fire Department, please don't hesitate to contact us with a message or by leaving us a voice mail at 989-734-7568.

Your OBFD responded to a call for a brush fire in the woods on Jarvis Road. With mutual aid assistance from both Onaway and Case Township, we were able to contain the fire to roughly a quarter acre of wooded area. Expended fireworks were found at the scene and were turned over to the DNR.

We are very thankful for the prompt call to 911 by the person who spotted smoke, and for the mutual aid assistance from our neighbor departments. This could have been much worse.

Did you know that your OBFD meets three evenings each month to perform training exercises? This evening we performed an equipment operations refresher on our large tanker.

This is rig 705, a six wheel drive military truck converted for fire fighting. It carries 4,000 gallons, and is equipped with a side sprayer at each of the four corners, a top mounted deck nozzle, and a rear driver side mounted hose reel. She hauls a lot of water to a fire, and can get just about anywhere we need to get to.
