Open House at Station 1!

This Saturday, July 25th we will be hosting our annual open house at Station 1 in Glen Arbor.  The Glen Arbor Station, located at 6401 State Street, serves as headquarters for the administration and training offices as well as a duty crew of 4 scheduled each day.

The open house will feature many fun activities including a fire department themed bounce house and a fire hose spray challenge for kids.  Many apparatus will be on display as well as a great deal of equipment and gear used by our firefighters!  

Please join us between 10 and 2 for this fun day of activities and education!

Water supply training with Engine 311 and Boat 371

Stop by during the open house and you might even see a special guest!

Fireworks, Parades, and Pancakes!

Hello everyone! We know its been a while since our last post, but we are back with more things to share!

First, on the note of fireworks.. Fireworks are only allowed to be set off the day before, the day of, and the day after major holidays per local ordinances.  Besides that legal note, please exercise great caution when using fireworks as the weather has been rather dry and the sparks and debris can quickly lead to grass and structure fires.

Parades and other ceremonies in the area to take note of for the Fourth of July..  There will be a flag raising ceremony at the Old Settler's Picnic Grounds on Glen Lake at 10am and then the annual Fourth of July Parade in Glen Arbor begins at Noon.

Pancakes!! This is the most important note you will read here all weekend!  The Glen Arbor Fire and Rescue Association is once again hosting its annual all you can eat pancake breakfast at the Glen Arbor Township Hall on SUNDAY JULY 5TH!  Funds generated from the event go to support firefighter training and equipment purchases that would not otherwise be possible.  Please come out and support the event if you are able, we would greatly appreciate your support!

As always, please stay safe during the holiday weekend and be mindful of cyclists, paddlers, and pedestrians!

Happy 4th of July!!
