Congratulations to Commissioner, Charles Johnson! Board of Commissioners – Election Results (Dec 9, 2025)

A great big Thank You to Lakeshore Community Church for bringing lunch to all 3 of our stations yesterday!! They not only appreciated it, but they enjoyed it very much!! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!!

Last week, Gates Fire District presented Emily Bub with The Community Engagement Award which was fully funded by Roberts Wesleyan University. Gates Fire District and RWU partnered together to recognize and support a promising community-oriented student residing in the Gates Township who would be attending RWU. Good luck, Emily, with your future endeavors!

Protect your family. Older adults, children and pets are at greatest risk in home fires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50IaNA1RtpQ There is no better home protection than fire sprinklers. #HomeFireSprinklerWeek

Fire sprinklers are activated by heat. Only the sprinkler closest to the fire activates.

Home fire sprinklers benefit everyone! Injuries to civilians and firefighters are reduced or eliminated and there are fewer losses of personal belongings if a fire does occur. Consider putting these in your new-build-home or retro fitting your existing home when remodeling.

Home Fire Sprinklers are your home’s first defense against fires and can put out a fire BEFORE a fire truck even arrives. Go to Homefiresprinklers.org for more information.

We are thrilled to unveil our new fire safety trailer!! Thank you, Assemblyman Meeks for your assistance in securing funding for this project.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM SATURDAY TO 1 AM SUNDAY… Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations 2″ to 4″ and ice accumulations around one tenth of an inch. Plan on slippery road conditions and limited visibilities. Use caution while driving!

Hypothermia is most likely at extremely low temperatures, but it’s also possible well above freezing if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or immersion in cool water.

In addition to straining the heart and other organs, impaired blood flow and decreased metabolic activity due to low temperatures can affect the brain, making movement and thinking clearly difficult. Dress warm and limit your time outdoors in cold temperatures.

Winter weather advisory for Monroe county from 2pm today until 6pm Sunday. Total snow accumulations 6 to 12 inches in the most persistent lake snow areas, spread out over the next few days. Winds gusting as high as 30 mph to 40 mph will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow.
