Fire Department Authority


The Rogers  City Area Fire Department Authority (RCAFDA) provides firefighting and fire prevention services and medical first responder services for the City of Rogers City and Belknap, Bismarck, Moltke and Rogers townships.

The Authority is staffed by paid on call firefighters and first responders.  All equipment is housed in Rogers City and consists of two pumpers, a tele-squirt, two tankers, a brush truck, a rescue truck and a vehicle for the first responders. 

The Fire Chief is Michael Kroll and the Director of the First Responders is Jacob Kamyszek.

The Authority’s services are funded by a separate voted millage, a few grants, and charges for services.  A portion of or all of the costs for fighting a specific fire will be charged to the property owner;  this cost can be referred to the property owner’s insurance company for payment.  

The Authority’s Board of Directors is composed of the four Township Supervisors and the Mayor of Rogers City.  It consists of:
  • Neil Sorgenfrei (Moltke Twp.).
  • Randy Smolinski (Rogers Twp.),
  • Larry Fuhrman (Rogers City),
  • Alan Berg (Belknap Twp.) and
  • member at large John Kleiber (Bismarck Twp.).
