If you see red lights casting against the Alpena Township Fire Stations from April 27 to May 4, don’t be alarmed, the fire department said in a Wednesday press release.

The department is taking part in the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Tribute prior to the Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend that runs from Saturday through Sunday. Since its creation, Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters has expanded to include fire departments and families lighting their homes in red.

The Alpena Township Board of Trustees and the fire department ask the citizens of the township and across Alpena County to join them in Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters.
