Kasson Township eyes site for fire station

A second station to improve response times for fire/rescue emergencies for Cedar Area Fire & Rescue (CAFR) is underway.

Kasson Township has issued a request for proposals for preliminary drawings for a stand alone fire station.

“From the very beginning (of the new four-township department) it was obvious that the existing facility is not meant for a full-service ALS department,” said Greg Julian, Kasson Township supervisor and chair of the CAFR board. “We’ve identifi ed what we need to improve the facility as well as the coverage area. It’s one of the largest coverage areas in northern Michigan.”
