Hello! I just wanted to give a quick update at where the Fire Department is at with the boat. We ordered and took delivery of the boat in March. This week I have ordered the trailer. It should be here in a couple weeks. We are still Fundraising for the motor, lighting, and life jackets. We are hoping to have to boat in the water by June. Any donations can be mailed or dropped off at the Michigamme Township
Hall.MICHIGAMME, Mich. (WLUC) - A U.P. fire department is adding new layers to its emergency response capabilities. The Michigamme-Spurr Fire Department bought a new rescue boat last week. Now, the department is raising money to buy a trailer and motor for it. The department expects the items to cost about $15,000. Joe Perry, the department’s fire chief, says the new boat will be a game changer when it’s up and running. “We feel it’s going to be beneficial for our department and for our residents,” said Perry. “We’ve had increased in the last couple of years where it would’ve been nice to have our own boat. Any time that we have a water rescue or something on one of our lakes, it takes a while for either the sheriff’s office or the DNR to get here.” You can send donations to the Michigamme Township Office. WINTER TIPS!Pack an extra pair of socks in your car’s glove compartment. Then if you need to get out and shovel, or if you step into a puddle, you’ll have dry socks to change into. And put those orphaned or mismatched socks to use: use them as wiper blade covers! This life hack for winter is simple yet so effective!
This winter hack is one of our favorites. Simply apply cooking spray, such as Pam®, to the snow blower’s clean and dry auger and inside the discharge chute before tackling the snowdrifts. Additionally, you can use the cooking spray on your shovel to prevent snow from sticking. Did you notice the new road signs?Charlie Gardner (Fire Department) explained that the new signs were just about finished going up. They are larger than the old ones and certainly easier to see both day and night. When questioned, Charlie, said that using these signs enables the 1st responders to find you without a fire number. Charlie also stated that it is IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN YOUR ROAD! RESCUE VEHICLES NEED A MINIMUM OF 12' TO GET THE TRUCKS IN. Cut back branches where needed.

Animal Spring FeedingMARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Spring is slowly making its way to the U.P., and with it comes new animal activity.
The DNR says most issues you will encounter are likely due to food. They urge you to use caution if you have been feeding the birds this spring. The department advises bringing in bird feeders and any pet food stored outside. The department also advises against feeding deer at this time of year. “Once the snow really starts to go we really urge people to put those bird feeders away,” said Brian Roell, DNR wildlife biologist. “They are just a huge attractant of bears. Bears come out of the den and they’re hungry and they’re looking for an easy food source and black oil sunflower seeds are nutritious and obviously delicious to them.” DNR staff also encourage people to be mindful of new deer activity while driving, especially in areas of melted snow. Have fun and make Michigamme look special!
