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 1980s, we started our full time department with three (3) full time Fire Fighters.
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 Community Outreach page for more information.
The TRI-COM Hazardous Material Emergency Response Team is a result of the cooperative efforts of Cascade Township Fire Department, Gaines 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. We also have automatic aid agreements with our neighboring departments. They are dispatched the same time we are so we are able to have additional personnel on scene quicker.
