We just wanted to remind everyone that the annual Asparagus Festival is this weekend in Empire. There will be quite a bit going on related to the festival; because of this Front Street between Union and Lake Streets in Empire will be closed from now until mid-afternoon on Sunday.
The Glen Lake Fire Department will have a few of our firefighters and apparatus stationed down at the festival on Saturday from around 10 until at least 3. Please feel welcome to stop out, see our apparatus, check out what we do, and talk with our firefighters.

Spring Cleaning
No different than anyone else this time of year, we have been doing some spring cleaning around both of our stations. We have been keeping busy waxing all of our apparatus, deep cleaning the truck bays, and preparing for the upcoming summer season by testing all of the hoses that we could use in the event of a fire.
While our spring cleaning may be a bit different than yours, please keep in mind these few things as you clean your yard and prepare for the upcoming summer:
As always, our station doors are open to the public so feel free to stop in, ask questions, or look around. We will gladly take a few minutes to show you around the station and apparatus area.
While our spring cleaning may be a bit different than yours, please keep in mind these few things as you clean your yard and prepare for the upcoming summer:
- Campfires can grow and quickly spread out of control
- Always keep the area around fire pits clear of debris and brush
- Have water or a fire extinguisher handy just in case
- Always put out fires when you are done enjoying them to limit the chances of them spreading
As always, our station doors are open to the public so feel free to stop in, ask questions, or look around. We will gladly take a few minutes to show you around the station and apparatus area.
