After pouring over years of archival material, including thousands of texts & photos, and over 24 audio/video files, paramedic Fred LaPoint submitted the application for a World’s Record which was accepted by Guinness. The city of Manistee is only 20 years older than the fire station, since its inception in 1869.
It’s another thing that Michigan can be proud of!
