Norwich Township Fire Department would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Joe, Mike, and the entire team at Auto Solutions for their generous donation of a vehicle for Monday night’s training.

Their support made it possible for our members to participate in a highly realistic vehicle extrication scenario involving a rollover with a trapped patient. Training opportunities like this are essential in sharpening our skills, enhancing teamwork, and ensuring we are fully prepared to respond when seconds matter most.

Partnerships with community businesses like Auto Solutions play a vital role in our mission, and we truly appreciate their continued support and commitment to public safety.

Please look over the following, but please take special consideration the fact that out of all of the fatal fires in Michigan only 29% had working smoke detectors. Meaning 71% of the fatal fires did not have any working smoke detectors.

Norwich Township Fire Department still has a few free smoke detectors and CO Detectors that we can come and install for free.

Battery powered detectors only. No hardwired.

Message us on Facebook or
e-mail [email protected] to set up an installation.
