A mask is required for entering the Township Building! Township officials believe taking precautionary steps are the responsible steps a government must take to ensure the safety and well-being of the community and its employees.

The Chippewa Martiny Fire Department and Chippewa Fire Board regret to announce that the 2020 Annual Halloween Fire Department Open House has been canceled this year.

Recently one of our Mecosta County Departments lost a long-time firefighter due to complications of Covid 19. His loss has reverberated through all of our communities with great sadness. He will be missed by many.

Our Department’s Mission is “To Serve and Protect”. In staying within this mission it was decided that our communities’ AND Firefighters’ safety and health, are too important to take any unnecessary risks, at this time.

Chippewa Township is monitoring the COVID-19 situation in the nation. We are working with health officials to determine what actions are appropriate for the current situation. This is a fluid situation that changes by the day. The most current information can be obtained from the links below.
