John Sigg, Fire Chief

Mission Statement - Cascade Township Fire Department will deliver quality preventative and emergency service to the community.

The Cascade Township Fire Department covers 35 square miles and provides Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Service to the residents and visitors to the Township. The Cascade Township Fire Department was established in 1942 as an all-volunteer department. In 1974 the Township hired our first full time chief. In the 1980's we started our full time department with three (3) full time Fire Fighters. Today we have 16 full time fire fighters who operate out of two stations. Both stations are staffed 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. We have 13 paid on call members that support the full time staff. All members of the Department are professionally trained and committed to the Township.

Cascade Township Fire Department covers a residential, commercial and industrial based area as well as the Gerald R Ford International Airport.

Our Department is committed to the education of the children in the Township. We have a "Safe At Home Program" in the schools to educate them on Fire Safety. Visit our Programs page for more information.

Our department is equipped with three AED's (Automatic External Defibrillator) for cardiac arrests and we have two Thermal Imaging Camera's to detect fires inside walls and other areas not seen by the human eye. There is a Thermal Imaging Camera located at each Station.

The TRI-COM Hazardous Material Emergency Response Team is a result of the cooperative efforts of Cascade Township Fire Department, Dutton Township Fire Department and The City of Kentwood Fire Department. All members of this team are trained to a minimum level of Hazardous Material technician through the Michigan State Police Hazardous Material Training Center. At this time, equipment is positioned at Kentwood Fire Station No. 2 on Embassy Drive.

As with any successful organization, there needs to be people that care. We in Cascade, have the most caring and dedicated individuals in the profession. Without their input and hard work, there would not be a fire department. We would also like to give credit to all the people that work behind the scenes to support us on a daily basis. Thank you!

Patch and Memorabilia Requests

Because of limited quantities and due to post September 11 security concerns, our department and it's personnel will not sell, trade or give away patches, hats, shirts or other memorabilia. Such requests will not be responded to under any circumstances. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
