Elevated fire danger is in place across northern Michigan today due to the combination of recent rain-free weather leading to drying vegetation, low humidity, and gusty winds. For the latest open burning information, please visit: www.dnr.state.mi.us/burnpermits/.

Yesterday at approximately 10:00AM, Paradise Emergency Services were dispatched, along with automatic aid agencies, to a report of a home on fire in Mayfield Township. First arriving units found heavy fire conditions and requested a second alarm, bringing additional agencies and personnel to the scene. Crews worked collaboratively bringing the situation under control and all units were cleared around 1:00PM..

One civilian was transported to the hospital for precaution and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

We would like to thank all of our neighboring partners who assisted our team: Blair Township Emergency Services , Northwest Wexford Emergency Authority, Green Lake Township Emergency Services, Long Lake Fire Rescue , Grand Traverse Metro Emergency Services Authority , Fife Lake Springfield Fire Department, Grand Traverse 911 , Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office and TC Towing.

Around 1pm this afternoon, PES staff responded with Blair Township, Michigan DNR and Green Lake Chief to a 10 acre fire burning in a cut corn field. The fire was quickly contained and extinguished, but this is a good reminder to be vigilant about fire danger despite the exceptionally wet spring. Until the vegetation greens up, dry days with high winds can still have potential for wildfire starts.

Thank you to everyone for the quick response! Don't forget to pay attention to the DNR's Burn Permit page when burning.

Today our team had the pleasure of showing off our vehicles to the elementary school and presenting to the middle school as part of the Kingsley school's career day. This is one of our favorite days of the year! It's a great reminder of why we do this job and to connect with our community!

Tonight the community's new 3,000 gallon Pumper/Tanker was placed into service. Staff have been busy since we took delivery getting familiar with, driving and outfitting the new truck. This apparatus will provide a huge improvement to the amount of water we can bring to fires outside of the areas with hydrants!
