A Word From Your Chief
I have had the honor of serving as chief of the St. Michael Fire Department since 2007. The volunteer firefighters on SMFD are a dedicated, highly-skilled force and are there to make sure the City of St. Michael is protected to the best of our ability. As we help keep our city safe, you can help, too! When having a bonfire in your backyard, have a way to extinguish the fire on hand in case your fire becomes uncontrollable. Every year, take time to perform a home safety check and make sure you have fresh batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact us at any time. Let’s work together to keep our city a safe and enjoyable place to live!
