PARK CLOSURE

On Sunday, October 4, the Leslie Fire Department will be conducting training. Depending on the weather, this training will include a helicopter landing in the grassy area near the ball fields of the Leslie Township Park.

For safety, the ball fields and walking track will be closed to the public from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. The Township parking lot and Pavilion will remain open.

Why the training matters: Life Flight plays an important role in rural emergency response, providing rapid medical care and transport when serious injuries occur. Training with air medical crews helps our firefighters practice safe landing-zone operations and coordination so we’re prepared to work together when seconds count.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation while we conduct this important training. While the pavilion and parking lot will remain open, please be mindful that this is a training exercise and not a public event.

FILL THE BOOT IS BACK!

The Leslie Fire Department is proud to once again participate in Fill the Boot to help raise money for children with muscular dystrophy through the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

You’ll see our firefighters out on the roads collecting donations in the boot. This year, we’re also making it easier than ever to help! Just scan our QR code to make a donation directly to the MDA on behalf of the Leslie Fire Department.

And with Homecoming this week, there will be plenty of extra traffic and excitement around town. If you see us out collecting, please slow down, stay alert, and give our firefighters plenty of room while they’re on the road. Our goal is to make sure everyone gets home safely!
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference!

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless first responders who answered the call that day and have continued to suffer the consequences in the years since.

We also want to recognize our own, Firefighter Alexis Doherty, and Neighbors United as they continue their 140-mile walk in honor of Michigan firefighters battling cancer.

Their walk serves as a reminder that the sacrifices of first responders don’t always end when the call is over. Many firefighters continue to face serious health consequences from the work they did to protect others — including cancers linked to their exposure at Ground Zero.

Today, we remember those we lost, honor those who served, and stand with the firefighters still fighting.

Never Forget.

If you would like to support Alexis Mason, Joseph Warne, and Neighbors United in their efforts to support Michigan firefighters battling cancer and cancer screening, please consider donating through the link below or through the Neighbors United page.

Yesterday your Leslie firefighters teamed up with our partners with the Onondaga Township Fire Department to train on some drafting and water supply techniques.

In areas without fire hydrants, or when the hydrant system isn't sufficient/fails firefighters have to shuttle water to the scene. The water is stored in large portable tanks before being drawn into the fire engine to be used to extinguish the fire. The technique of drawing the water into the fire engine is a perishable skill and is practiced frequently by your Leslie firefighters.

If you are interested in becoming a Leslie firefighter, send us a message.

As we kick off the weekend to celebrate our nation’s independence, the Leslie Fire Association would like to remind everyone to keep safety a priority!

-Leave fireworks to the professionals whenever possible!
-If using legal consumer fireworks, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
-Adult supervision is a must—never allow children to handle fireworks.
-Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby.
-Never relight a firework that doesn’t go off.
-Soak used fireworks in water before throwing them away.
-Keep grills at least 10 feet away from homes, decks, and anything that can burn.
-Never leave a grill unattended while cooking.
-Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.

A few extra minutes spent being safe can prevent a lifetime of regret.
From all of us at the Leslie Fire Association, we wish you and your family a safe, fun, and memorable Independence Day weekend! 🇺🇸
