🚒 CLAM UNION TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT – COMMUNITY NOTICE 🚒

⚠️ Water Shuttle Training Exercise – Tonight at 7:00 PM ⚠️

The Clam Union Township Fire Department, along with fire departments from across Missaukee County, will be conducting a large-scale water shuttle training exercise this evening beginning at approximately 7:00 PM.

This training will involve numerous fire apparatus, tanker trucks, and emergency personnel operating in the area between the Forward Road Bridge near Prosper Road and Lotan Road, with shuttle routes extending throughout the training area.

Water shuttle operations are a critical component of rural firefighting, allowing departments to deliver large volumes of water to areas without hydrants. This training helps ensure that firefighters are prepared to work together efficiently during major emergencies.

🚒 What to Expect:
• Increased emergency vehicle traffic in and around the training area
• Fire apparatus entering and exiting roadways frequently
• Personnel working along roadways and near the river access points
• Training activities continuing throughout the evening

⚠️ For Your Safety:
• Drive with caution in the area.
• Slow down and be alert for emergency vehicles and personnel.
• Never pass emergency vehicles unless directed to do so.
• Give crews plenty of room to operate safely.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as our firefighters train to better protect our community. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.
