ccording to a post on the Chikaming Township Fire and Rescue Department Facebook page, at 7:14 a.m., Dec. 22, firefighters were dispatched to the 15000 block of Lakeshore Road in Union Pier for the report of a chimney fire. The first police unit on scene reported that it was a fully involved structure fire, but all occupants were out of the structure. Strong winds and cold
temperatures made for a difficult time fighting the fire. “All firefighters worked very hard, and all went home safe!” the post said. Chikaming Fire and Rescue would like to thank New Buffalo Township Fire Department, Bridgman City Fire Department, Lake Township Fire Department, Three Oaks Fire Department, Berrien County Sheriff’s department, HART, Great Lakes Rescue, Chikaming Water Department, Berrien
County Road Commission, Medic 1, and Berrien County Dispatch for their assistance. “Thank you to New Buffalo City FD and Lincoln Township FD for standing by their stations,” the post stated. The Bridgman City Public Works and Paul Oman/Union Pier Builders provided equipment to transport hose back to the corresponding fire departments. — STAFF REPORTS
