Fire and Hunters Safety
Fire education continued throughout the week in recognition of Fire Prevention Week. Here students from Holy Trinity School had the opportunity to learn about Fire Safety. 
As part of National Fire Prevention Week, the Alpine Township Fire Department, participated with other West Michigan Firefighters in the 9th Annual Silent Night Memorial Service and Parade of Apparatus. This year’s event took place on Thursday, October 8, 2009 beginning with the Memorial Service at 7:00pm followed by a silent parade of fire department vehicles. It was held at held at the City of Walker Public Safety Memorial Site located at Wilson and Remembrance Road. The purpose of this ceremony is to recognize and remember any area firefighter, active or retired, that has passed away or “answered the Last Alarm” in the past 12 months, no matter whether it was a line of duty death or not. A bell is rung once for each name.
With Hunter Safety classes being conducted in the Township Hall Thursday, members of the Parks and Recreation Department were forced to meet in the Office Reception area, where there was standing room only.
