South Haven Area Emergency Services marks 25 years serving the city of South Haven along with Casco, Geneva, and South Haven townships on January 1. As part of the celebration, retired Chief Randy Van Wynen has crafted the wooden logo featuring South Haven’s distinctive lighthouse with a lighted lamp room. Van Wynen was chief during the transition from separate South Haven and Casco fire departments into the area authority in 1996. His logo has been placed in the Blue Star Station. SHAES is on target to set a record for responses in a calendar year. The record is 2,276 in 2016.
