The winter and spring months have brought a flurry of changes, and improvements to your fire department. These include:
Replacement of our 1994 ambulance with a 2006 medic ambulance. The new ambulance is painted to match the paint scheme of our other fire apparatus. Implementation of 800 Mhz radio system, which allows for direct communication with multiple fire and police fire agencies in Macomb and Oakland County, as well as other public safety agencies and the Michigan State Police.
Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) training for all personnel. This training is designed to ensure firefighter safety and provide a team that is dedicated to firefighter rescue during fire and emergency incidents.
Continuation of quarterly community CPR/AED training. This training will resume in the fall. Dates and times will be posted on the City;s TV Channel, Website.
Completion of a successful joint fire and evacuation training exercise with Northpointe Village and Universal Ambulance.
Addition of a 2nd Thermal Imager Camera obtained at no cost (a $10,000 value) through the Department of Homeland Security Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program. The camera utilizes a thermal (heat) image to identify persons or animals that may be trapped in a fire and not visible due to smoke. The camera can also be utilized to pinpoint fires behind walls and other non-visable areas. This decreases damage caused by "opening up" walls and other non-visual areas to search for fire extension.

Please keep an eye on the City's TV channel and website for other fire department activities and training, as well as our annual Open House, during fire prevention week in October.

We would also like to thank the following businesses for generous donations that have enabled us to update our rope rescue equipment:
Shamrock Pub
Courtyard by Marriott
Hyatt Place
Comfort Inn

INSURANCE RATING
