Welcome to the Marine City Area Fire Authority website. It is an honor to serve our communities as Fire Chief. I encourage you to review the documents and postings here as we strive to be transparent about our actions and efforts to mitigate threats to public safety in our communities.

The Marine City Area Fire Authority employs State of Michigan certified Firefighters and Medical First Responders. Our Firefighters are dedicated to protecting the lives and property of the citizens of our surrounding communities by responding to their emergencies such as; medical incidents, fires (structure, brush, car, etc.), natural disasters and hazardous materials incidents. We also have several programs that can be found within these pages with other services we offer to our community, please, take a look.

I have been serving as Fire Chief at the Marine City Area Fire Authority since 2011 and as a member of the department since 1991. Over the years, I have seen many changes such as moving from a strictly volunteer department to paid on call services, new technology to assist in fighting fires, and heavily increasing calls for service in our community. Through all these changes, one thing has remained the same, the dedicated men and women at the Marine City Area Fire Authority are always ready to serve you in the event of an emergency.

Proudly serving you,

Joseph Slankster
Fire Chief
