Our Board Members
The Authority is staffed by a dedicated team of paid on‑call firefighters and medical first responders who provide around‑the‑clock emergency coverage and maintain ongoing training in fire suppression, rescue operations, and medical response. All equipment is housed in Rogers City and includes two pumpers for primary fire attack, a tele‑squirt for elevated operations, two tankers for water transport in rural areas, a brush truck for wildland incidents, a rescue truck equipped for extrication and technical support, and a rapid‑response vehicle for medical calls. The Authority is funded through a voter‑approved millage, supplemented by grants and service‑related charges, and the cost of responding to a specific fire may be billed to the property owner and submitted to their insurance for reimbursement. Oversight is provided by a Board of Directors composed of appointed representatives from the four participating townships and the Rogers City Council, ensuring coordinated governance and long‑term planning for the region’s emergency services.
