Fire Department
Manistee Township Fire Department maintains a 28-member volunteer fire department which also includes two cadets.
The Manistee Township Fire Department was established in May of 1973, by a group of men with a great deal of fore sight and little money. Many of those men remain as Charter Members of the Manistee Township Fire Department. Presently the Department has five trucks, including two engines, two tanker pumper trucks, and one brush/grass rig truck. The newest tanker/pumper truck was purchased in 2011 in conjunction with a grant from the Little River Revenue Sharing Board, and General Fund of Manistee Township.
Officers of the Manistee Township Fire Department Include:
Chuck Barron, Fire Chief
Tom Johnson, Assistant Chief
Wes Owens, Captain and Secretary
Brian Forbes, Lieutenant
Joe Wells, EMS Lieutenant
Jack Dinsen, Treasurer
