About Us: The personnel of Blue Lake Township Fire Department are much more than just fire fighters. In addition to fighting structure, wildland and vehicle fires we are trained and prepared to respond to a variety of situations including downed electrical wires, water emergencies, vehicle accidents, rescues, hazardous material leaks and spills and medical emergencies, involving illness or injuries.
BLFD was the first fire department in west Michigan to provide a fully certified ground search and rescue team (G-SAR). The BLFD G-SAR Team has assisted in locating missing or lost individuals throughout Michigan. We have joined forces with other teams such as Kent County SAR, Michigan Department of Corrections, State Police, Coast Guard, DNR, County Sheriffs, local Police and FIre Departments and even the US Forest Service.
In addition to the emergency services provided, BLFD offers public education programs promoting safety. One such program assists the many Cub and Boy Scouts that attend summer camp in the area to earn their Fire Safety Merit Badge, Emergency Preparedness and SAR Merit Badges. If you would like more info on our public safety education activities contact the department.
Your safety is very important to us. We offer free business and home inspections to ensure you are working/living in a fire safe environment. Contact the department for more details.
