Pelican Township contracts with three Fire Departments for
Fire Protection. We spend about $44,000 each year for this service.
Depending on your property location within the Town, you will be
served by either the Nisswa, Mission Township or Pequot Lakes Fire Departments.
There are mutual aid pacts that allow responses by other Departments in
the event of a larger fire. The cost for protecting our Township
is part of the property tax you pay.
Some responses will result in a partial cost of the call being billed
to the property owner. Insurance almost always covers these costs.
It is critical that you understand that if the Fire Department is
called to put out a fire on your property, the trucks and firefighters
must be able to access your property.
