The Roseville Fire Department has been experiencing some exciting changes lately. Firstly, we would like to congratulate Battalion Chief Todd Adams on his retirement. Todd recently retired from the department after serving the residents of Roseville for 30 years. He spent the last eight and a half years of his career as a Battalion Chief. Todd is well known not only for his commitment and dedication to the residents and the city but also for his commitment to his family and crew. Todd has always prided himself on putting his crew and their families over himself. Congratulations Todd on your well deserved retirement.
Secondly, we would like to congratulate Battalion Chief Jon Tovarez, Captain Gerald Kempf, Lieutenant Joel Higuchi, and Sergeant Marc Hammell on their recent promotions. We know you will all do a great job in your new roles.
Last but not least we would like to congratulate Firefighter Paramedic Carly Landry on passing her 1-year probationary period and receiving her badge. New firefighters have a 1-year probationary period where they are trained to the highest standards and evaluated on their performance throughout the year. Carly exceeded all expectations and we are proud to work alongside her.
Local 1614 would like to congratulate Scott Bala on being elected 6th District Vice President of the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union. Scott has served the residents of the City of Roseville for almost 30 years. During that time, Scott rose through the ranks of our local union serving 27 years, 18 as President. Scott is a strong union leader and will now continue to lead at the state level. We are proud of Scott and wish him luck on his new journey as 6th District Vice President.
We would also like to congratulate Matt Sahr on being elected President of the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union. Matt has served in various roles throughout his years as a union firefighter. Matt has been working for us at the state level as 6th District Vice President of the Michigan Professional Firefighters union for the past eight years. Congratulations to Matt and Scott. We know you'll both represent us well.
Roseville firefighters would like to wish everyone a happy and safe St. Patrick’s day. Please be responsible and don’t drink and drive.
Come support your local first responders as they face off against the Red Wings Alumni team to help fight cancer today. We will have 2 members representing Roseville Local 1614 on the team.
Recently, firefighters Jeff LeRoy and Timothy Vanvechten dropped off blankets at Children's Hospital of Detroit. These blankets were handmade by Jeff and Tim over the course of the year. We know the children will appreciate all the work and time that went into making and delivering these. Thank you Jeff and Tim for all that you do!
Local 1614 would like to recognize and thank Scott Bala for 27 years of dedicated service to our union. Scott has selflessly dedicated himself to serving our Local, State, and International Union. He has been a leader and a mentor to everyone at this department. He is the true definition of what it means to be a Union Brother. Yesterday, we got to honor his retirement from our local board by presenting him with this plaque in honor of his service. Scott has served Local 1614 for 27 years, 18 of them as Union President. He has overcome many challenges and has done so while being a great leader. Our Union board will not feel the same without him. From all of us at Local 1614, thank you for everything that you have done for us and the city of Roseville.
Although Scott is retiring from our Local Union Board, he will still be serving the residents of Roseville as our Battalion Chief. Scott is still not done serving our Union. He has decided to run for MPFFU 6th District VP. We hope that everyone helps in supporting him on his new adventure as he continues to serve us all.
A big shout-out to the Roseville DPW plow drivers and mechanics that maintain the plows. We all agreed that Roseville's streets were the cleanest streets on our way into work this morning. Nice work!
Drive safe everyone.....especially if you travel outside the city! 😉
Merry Christmas from our families to yours!
This year our Christmas Families program was able to sponsor 5 families that live in our city. We sent out our members and shopped for food, Christmas gifts, items the families needed, school supplies, and clothes. Each unit sponsored a family, shopped, and delivered gifts to them. We are so grateful for the support of our community to help us keep these programs working and to be able to give back to our residents that need a little extra help. Merry Christmas everyone!

We are proud to announce that the Roseville Police Department was able to write a grant and secure $4,000.00 in funds from Walmart to be put towards Shop with a Cop.

In addition, we've also invited the Roseville Fire Department to partake in this joyous occasion with us.
Thank You! Thank You!
We were able to provide 28 Thanksgiving meals to Roseville families that needed a little extra help this year. We were able to do this for so many reasons and we want to say THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who donated to our charity account. We had an overwhelming amount of support from our community to help us keep this program alive this year.
Thank you to the Eastpointe-Roseville Chamber of Commerce, Roseville Optimist Club, members of our department, Roseville residents, Carmela at Sos Marysville Food Pantry who donated 25 turkeys,Kroger, Fountain Elementary School who decorated all of our bags for our families this year (they looked amazing!), The City of Roseville, Chief Jacobs, and anyone else that we may be forgetting. Thank You! We hope to continue this program for many years. Any money that was leftover will go into our charity account and will be used to help support our Christmas program.

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!
We count our blessings every day and we are grateful for the residents and community in our care.
We wish everyone a safe, healthy, and Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
With EMS staffing crisis brewing for decades, COVID pushes shortage into danger zone
It's a systemic problem rooted in decades of under-funding that's been exacerbated by COVID and threatens to dismantle an emergency safety net Americans depend on.
Thanksgiving Meals Still Available!
We still have some Thanksgiving meals that are still available. If you, or someone you know, needs a little extra help this holiday season, please email us or PM this page. We would love to help out this year. The meals are non-cooked and will include (see picture below) a turkey, sides, gravy, rolls, and dessert. Pick up for these meals will be Tuesday 11-23. We are able to do special arrangements if needed such as a different pick-up day or delivery. Please let us know if you need some help this year.
Happy Holidays from your Roseville Fire Fighters
Email: [email protected]
or private message this page.
Thanksgiving meals for families in need:
The Roseville Fire Fighters are looking for families in our community that may need some help with a Thanksgiving dinner this year. We have been able to acquire the supplies for 30 dinners, and are working on gathering more. If you are in need of some help or know of anyone in our city that needs help (family, neighbor, friend, etc.) please email us below or private message this page and we will add you to our list to reserve your meal. These meals are not cooked and will consist of a turkey, all the sides, rolls, and a dessert. The meals will be able to be picked up Tuesday, November 23rd and if needed, we will be able to drop off a few meals. We need everyone's help in locating these families that may need help. Not everyone has social media, especially elderly neighbors. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions and please share this post so that we can reach as many families as we can.
Thank You for your help,
Your Roseville Fire Fighters

Request for Community Donations for the Roseville Fire Fighters Local 1614 Thanksgiving Dinner Donations.
The Roseville Fire Fighters Union is seeking donations to help support our Thanksgiving Dinner Donation Program. This program was started 3 years ago by our membership and has been able to donate over 120 meals back to our citizens who need a little help around the Holiday Season.
In the past, we have been able to fund this program through our charity account. Our charity account is funded through our CPR program, car seat program, and selling off-duty fire apparel throughout the year at events. Unfortunately, like most programs, Covid forced our department to pause many of these programs and in turn decreased the amount we were able to raise throughout the year. Our charity account provides all the funding for our Thanksgiving Dinner program and our Christmas Families program and we usually zero the account out and start over year after year. This year we are asking for help from our citizens to keep this program alive. We have some funding and have received some donations from businesses, but we want to help as many families as we can. We will be accepting any cash donations, gift cards (Kroger, Meijer, Sams etc.) non-refrigerated food items (potatoes, pasta, canned items), or anything that would help support 30-50 Thanksgiving meals for families. Any money that is left over would be put towards our Christmas Families program. Each year we sponsor 4-5 families in Roseville and help provide Christmas for them with gifts for the kids and food. More on that program to come later.
Please Contact FF. Mike Schwartz for any questions or donations by private messaging this page or Emailing: [email protected]
Donations can be dropped off at Roseville Fire Department Headquarters 18750 Common Road.
If you know of or are in need of a Thanksgiving meal this year please contact us by using the information above. We are limited in our meals but are trying to help as many families as we can.
Thank you,
Roseville Fire Fighters Local 1614
Today was a very exciting day at the Roseville Fire Department. Local 1614 would like to congratulate Chief Brian Kanigowski on his retirement. Thank you for everything that you have done for our department and the citizens of Roseville. We wish you a happy and healthy retirement.
We would also like to congratulate Chief Keith Jacobs on receiving his new promotion to Chief.
Battalion Chief Robinson, Captain Kramer, Lieutenant Cattaneo, and Sergeant Deschner all received promotions today as well. Congratulations to everyone. It is well deserved.
The Roseville FD would like to give a giant Thank You to Glenda McGuire Inc, State Farm Agency for helping us with our fire prevention week! We are very thankful to have businesses that are able to help us with these events. Thank You!
Thank so much to Family Nutrition Roseville for dropping off some awesome teas. They were delicious!
Great work by the Roseville Fire Department. A fast response time with well trained, full time firefighters kept this fire from destroying an entire building. The fire had breached the eaves and got in to the attic but was stopped before spreading throughout the entire roof. Also, many happy pet owners were relieved to be reunited with the fur babies. We are proud to serve our community and ready to help your family in times of need.
Saving human lives is paramount for any fire department.
Join us this Saturday for a tie dye workshop at Jammin at the Junction! Our tents will be set up somewhere along Utica Road between Gratiot & 12 Mile. Look for the firetrucks! 🚒 We can't wait to see you! 😁
Members of the Roseville Fire Department at the Tigers game tonight participating in the 9-11 ceremony. Chief Kanigowski was asked the throw out the first pitch!!! Thank you to all the members who took time to participate in the memorial service. Enjoy the game! Go Tigers!
We will never forget.
On this night 20 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. Tonight as you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.
Today we honor all hard the working Americans getting the job done. We also send out a most grateful thank you to those that came before us that fought the good fight to earn the benefits we all enjoy. We will carry the torch in to the future to protect those benefits.
Please help us in supporting our Battalion Chief Scott Bala. BC Bala has been practicing for an upcoming charity event "Stepping Out with the Stars" where he will be competing in a dance competition (think Dancing with the Stars). This event is done through Turning Point, Inc. They are an amazing charity that helps provide programs and resources that enable survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to regain control of their lives.
Please consider donating to help support Turning Point but also to help our BC WIN the "Peoples Choice" vote. Every $5 donation is worth 1 vote! Roseville Fire Local 1614 has made an initial donation of $1,000. From all your brothers and sisters at the RFD, thank you for everything you do for the City of Roseville and our department! Good Luck! Please see the links below for donation information.
