The Ishpeming Township Fire Department is hosting our Annual ITFD Firefighter Memorial 5k run/walk fundraising event at 1 p.m. on June 7th, 2026. This will be our second year hosting the live event. Thanks to all that participated last year, the event was extremely successful and has enabled us to launch our scholarship program at Westwood High School. We will be awarding these to 2 WHS seniors this year!

The race will be held on the same route as last year, starting at the Westwood High School track. A virtual race will also be offered for those that can't make it on race day. We will be having a kids fun run on the high school track, food vendors and community activities. Be sure to bring the whole family for an afternoon of fun!

Please consider registering or donating to support our department and help honor our annual Firefighter's Memorial which will take place earlier that morning.

Racers who register before May 15, 2026 are guaranteed to receive a race t-shirt.

🎗️ World Cancer Day 🎗️

The Ishpeming Township Fire Department pauses today as we observe World Cancer Day for those we have lost and those who continue their fight.

World Cancer is observed annually nationwide on February 4th to raise worldwide awareness, improving education and catalysing personal, collective and government action.

Portable fire extinguishers are often the first line of defense when a fire starts. Used in those critical early moments, they can stop a small flame from becoming a life-threatening emergency.

Early action saves lives and protects property. That's why fire extinguisher standards, placement, and accessibility matter most.
