March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
Every day, Michigan families are impacted by preventable crashes involving speeding, distracted driving, and lack of seat belt use. Protecting your brain starts with simple choices:
- Buckle up, every trip.
- Put the phone down.
- Slow down.
- Watch for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.
Let’s work together to reduce brain injuries on Michigan roads and keep our communities safe. Awareness saves lives. Learn more at https://www.biami.org

🚒👨‍🚒 Firefighters/MFRs Needed! 👨‍🚒🚒

Here in Watersmeet, we know life is busy for everyone. Work, family, school, long commutes, and everything in between — not everyone feels like they have extra time to give.

But when the pager goes off at 2 a.m... when a neighbor’s home is on fire… when someone’s loved one can’t breathe… someone has to be the one who shows up.

That someone could be you.

Our community depends on volunteers willing to step forward in emergency situations. The need is real, and it’s growing. We are in need of both Firefighters and Medical First Responders. You don’t need experience — just commitment and heart.

All training and education are provided at no cost to you. You don't need to be a firefighter to be a first responder. But you also don't have to be one or the other. We will give you the tools, knowledge, and support you need to serve safely and confidently.

And you don’t have to live right in town to join. Whether you live on the Cisco Chain, the county line, or next door to the fire hall, you can be a valuable member of the Watersmeet Township Fire Department.

If you or someone you know has ever thought about making a difference, this is your chance. Please share, spread the word, and message us today for more information or to learn how to join. 👨‍🚒🚒

Enjoy this 3 day weekend…. BUT…Please do it safely and RIDE-RIGHT!!

A long holiday weekend and there is activity on our snowmobile trails! The UP is experiencing a snowy winter and flocks of snowmobilers.

The clubs are doing what they can to keep up. Some have multiple groomers out night and day. Always ride prepared to stop using proper groomer etiquette. You also never know if you're going to come across a sled on the trail, a broken down groomer, or even a stuck motorist following GPS directions.

Enjoy the UP and all our snow! Stay on the trails and please
