Saline Area Fire Department
History

Twenty years after fire team responses on September 11, 2001, legacy of “911” and “fundamentals” must be remembered as well

September 11, 2021 Dell Deaton

Michigan Comic Convention cosplay

Next Michigan Comic Convention in Detroit, this August 16-18, offers research opportunity for Saline planners

August 12, 2019
With the exciting announcement of “superheroes” as theme for our local Eighth Annual Saline Scarecrow contest, already compelling reasons to attend the 2019 Michigan Comic Convention are that much greater. [1,2] Not that anyone really needs justification for such indulgences, right?

Wrap that in the envelope of panel discussion rooms and an ....

Fewer still could have singled it out as culprit that brought all functioning of the computer in which it was housed to dead stop.

That would be when some from within that yet smaller ....

Fifteen Months Ago, The Rentschler Farmhouse Bell Went Silent With A Deafening Bang; Today It Properly Rings Again

June 29, 2018
One can only imagine how many storms the 1906 Rentschler farmhouse has steadfastly endured. But even the most dependable creations of man will eventually yield to the forces of nature. March of 2017 is one such instance. [1] It’s hard to say if it was a uniquely powerful storm that wrought devestating damage to the 101-year-old woodshed on the back of this house. Maybe it was simply the straw that broke the camels’ back. However ....
