Fire Engines go to Island: (one from City of Charlevoix and one from Boyne Valley Township) were hauled to the island Friday aboard a Beaver Island Boat Company ferry along with about 22 firefighters from departments all over Northern Michigan to staff them.
The ad-hoc fire department was on stand-by on the island from about 11 a.m. Friday until about 3 p.m. Saturday. This was done to allow all students within FF I & II and FF II to attend State Exam. PS: All 19 students attending have passed out of the 20 member department.
