Blue Lake Township Fire Department's primary service is to protect the safety of our community. In an endeavor to do this we provide public fire safety education to our township residents and visitors. We will also provide a free home safety inspection to our residents to ensure your home is the safe place you expect it to be. Township businesses are also encouraged to contact us for a free safety inspection every year.

Each summer we assist many Boy Scouts of America in earning their Fire Safety Merit Badge. If you would like to make arrangements for this service please contact us for more information and to schedule a time. We are also willing to work with other youth groups to promote fire safety.

Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home (including the basement), outside each sleeping area, and inside each bedroom. Larger homes may need additional smoke alarms. Never remove or disable smoke alarms.

From October 3-9, 2010, fire safety advocates will spread the word to their communities that, smoke alarms, when installed and maintained properly can and do save lives. Come join us this week during our Open House to learn more about fire prevention in your home as well as all fire safety related subjects. Click on the banner above to learn more and be sure to mark it on your calanders.

Also be sure to attend the Fire Prevention Week Open House at Blue Lake Township Fire Department on Tuesday the 5th of October, 2010 between 6:00 and 9:00 PM. We will have food and fun activities for the whole family.
