Durand Fire Department

Durand Fire Department The Durand Fire Department is entrusted with protecting the lives and property of the citizens of this city.

It is a huge responsibility that we all take very seriously. When a new firefighter joins the department, they begin with 160 hours of intense instruction. That is followed up with at least 32 hours of additional in-house training every year. In addition to fighting fires, the Durand Fire Department also conducts fire safety training at the schools at least once a year. We also spend most of our fire department time maintaining the fire hall and all the equipment that we depend on to do our job.

Tomorrow we will lay Mayor Jeff Brands to rest. Prior to going to the cemetery, the Durand Police Department and Durand Fire Department will lead Mayor Brands through the city he loved so dearly.

Everyone is invited to come out and pay their respects along the route. The procession will travel down Oak Street from Lansing Road to turn left at Main Street, then turning left at the clock tower. We expect the procession to arrive in Durand close to 1:00 PM.

Please continue to keep Joan, Cameron, Morgan, Justin, and the entire Brands family in your thoughts and prayers.

After all of this weekend’s festivities have finally wrapped up and things have mostly calmed down, we want to take a moment to recognize B Crew — aka the BEST crew 🔥🤙🏽

B Crew has been nominated for Clean-Up Crew of the Year at DFD, and this honor comes from hard work, commitment, teamwork, and yes… a little friendly competition.

This crew has built an incredible bond and takes pride in doing things the right way. As much as they love working together, they also know the importance of sharing that knowledge (and maybe some patience 😄) with our new recruits next year.

Congratulations to B Crew — setting the standard, proving that excellence doesn’t clock out, and simply being the best 🚒
BTW - we love Santa, but he is NOT B Crew. 🤣🫶🏼

Durand MI,

Don’t forget!! Santa is in town this evening! 12/21/2025 Estimated 5pm - 8pm Santa will be visiting Durand, going down every residential street in the City with Durand Firefighters.

A few friendly reminders before Santa’s arrival:
Time will be roughly 5pm - 8pm or until finished.
Please do not approach the fire trucks.
Firefighters will be passing out candy canes.
We would greatly appreciate if porch lights were kept on to help ensure everyone’s safety.
Please keep control of all animals while we walk through the neighborhoods and up to your door.
Santa was able to squeeze us in again this year but we unfortunately are not able to stop for one on one pictures with him, but please feel free to take pictures from your porch or door.
Santa and firefighters stay only within the Durand City limits.
Listen for the blast of the airhorn to signal Santa’s arrival on your street. Keep your eyes peeled for Fire truck lights showing we’re close by.
We are making a special stop at the end of our journey to Riverside Market, if you don’t live in town and wanted an opportunity to see Santa and DFD. We do not have a set end time so please give us grace with the time, we will post on Facebook when we are wrapping up but would estimate between 8:20 - 8:40pm.

It’s Almost Time for Our Annual Candy Cane Run!

❤️🎄Santa and the Durand Fire Department will be cruising down every residential street in Durand on December 21st from 5:00pm–8:30pm (end time is an estimate). We will finish the night at Riverside, so anyone outside city limits can still come see Santa! Keep an eye on Facebook, just like last year we will keep everyone updated here.

🚒Firefighters will be passing out candy canes— please leave your porch light on so we don’t miss you!

✨ Listen for the sirens, watch for the lights, and keep an eye out for SANTA!

We can’t wait to spread some holiday cheer! 🎁
