Your A-Shift firefighters completed two training evolutions today focused on strengthening operational readiness.

The first evolution focused on tower operations and the rescue of potential victims from elevated windows. Crews worked on aerial positioning, discussed victim removal, and safe operating procedures.

The second evolution focused on pump and aerial operations, giving firefighters additional hands-on experience with apparatus operations and water supply.

Your Owosso Firefighters remain prepared to respond safely and effectively when our community needs us.

Owosso, we are looking at a major heatwave over the next few days, with daily heat indexes expected to be over 100°F at times.

Your Owosso Firefighters want to make sure everyone stays safe. Please keep these 4 critical rules in mind:

💧 Hydrate Early & Often: Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water. Avoid heavy sugary, caffeinated, or alcoholic drinks, as they dehydrate you faster.

🐾 Protect the Paws & Kids: Never leave children or pets in a parked car, even for "just a minute." Look before you lock! If the asphalt is too hot for the back of your hand, it’s too hot for your dog's paws.

☀️ Limit Peak Sun Exposure: Try to avoid heavy outdoor exertion between 10 AM and 4 PM. If you must work outside, take frequent breaks in the shade or AC.

Check on Neighbors: Keep an eye on elderly neighbors, those without air conditioning, and individuals with medical conditions.

Do you know when to call 911?

-Heat Exhaustion (Act Immediately): Heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, a weak/rapid pulse, and cool, clammy skin. What to do: Move them to a cool place, loosen clothing, and give them sips of water.

-Heat Stroke (MEDICAL EMERGENCY - CALL 911): High body temperature (above 103°F), hot/red/dry skin (no sweating), confusion, fainting, or vomiting. What to do: Call 911 right away and try to cool the person down until help arrives.

Let's look out for each other, Owosso. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe!

🧑‍🚒 In an emergency, always dial 911.
