Please use extra caution driving through the Township today! 2026 clean up day is underway! Please leave plenty of room for everyone working along side the roads in order to keep everyone safe, while McCandless Public Works and the Volunteers work on keeping your township beautiful. Thank you!
Highland Volunteer Fire Department lost Life Member James Hough. Jim joined the department in 1959. In his time at Highland he held the positions of Chief, President and Treasurer. As Chief Jim’s creed was simple “put the fire out and don’t get hurt doing it” Jim was Highland’s G.O.A.T. Jim was 86. Rest in Peace Jim
For the next month, all 3 McCandless fire companies will be joining together to take Truck Company Ops 1. This evening is the first of 4 classes together to strengthen our knowledge and skills together as the township's Fire companies. ![]()

Truck company operations cover various skills such as search and rescue, ventilation, forced entry, salvage, overhaul, and more! These are tactics used at every fire that should be practiced regularly.
