We are half-staff today, Tuesday, January 6, 2026, to honor the life and service of Hamilton Fire Department Fire Chief David Haverdink, who passed away in the line of duty.

Chief Haverdink served the Hamilton Fire Department for fifty-one years, with almost forty years as chief. In addition to his service, Haverdink worked for the Hamilton Distributing Company, eventually becoming president and co-owner. Haverdink also pursued a career in law enforcement, becoming a reserve deputy sheriff for Allegan County in 1980.

Haverdink’s community service and involvement extended beyond his work in public service. In 1990, he became a member of the Allegan County Board of Commissioners where he advocated for safety initiatives. In 1992, Haverdink successfully campaigned for Allegan County Sheriff and stayed in the role for eight years, advocating for the sheriff’s department and safety initiatives.

The State of Michigan recognizes the duty, honor, and selfless service of Chief Haverdink by lowering flags to half-staff.

There is a power outage in the city of Ludington that is affecting the traffic lights downtown. Consumers is working to rectify the problem, but it is unknown at this time just how long the power will be out. Law enforcement is busy in the area working on the crisis that contributed to the power outage and is unavailable to conduct traffic control at the intersections. Everyone should proceed with caution and treat any intersection with a malfunctioning traffic signal as a 4-way stop until power has been restored.
