Real-world prep for worst-case scenarios. 🧑‍🚒🔥 Last night, our Solon crew utilized a burn box to study fire behavior and smoke patterns in real time. By mimicking dangerous conditions like flashovers and backdrafts, this training gives our firefighters a critical edge in reading a fire before stepping inside.

Big shoutout to Lieutenant Klaasen and Captain M. Schievink for putting together an awesome training session!

Tonight, several local fire departments came together for a fire and rescue training at the Cedar Springs Hilltop Building.

Departments in attendance included Solon, Cedar Springs, Sand Lake, and Courtland. It’s always a great opportunity to train side by side and strengthen our teamwork for the safety of our community.

A big thank you to Cedar Springs Public Schools for allowing us to use their facility!

🚒 Training Night at Solon Township Fire Department 🚒

Tonight members of the Solon Township Fire Department are participating in a Hazmat (Hazardous Materials) training. These trainings help our firefighters stay prepared to safely respond to incidents involving hazardous chemicals, spills, or other dangerous materials that could impact our community.

Training like this allows our team to practice identifying hazardous substances, using specialized equipment, and working together to protect both the public and our responders during these types of emergencies.

We are proud of the dedication our firefighters show by continually training and improving their skills to better serve Solon Township and the surrounding community.

Thank you to all of our members for putting in the time and effort to keep our community safe. 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒
