🔥 Introducing “Hot Topic” of the Week

Shelby Township Fire Marshal Matthew Tidrow is launching a new weekly series focused on fire safety, prevention and the stories behind the fire codes designed to keep our community safe.

Each week, “Hot Topic” of the Week will take a closer look at a different safety issue, explaining not only what the fire code requires, but why those requirements exist. From lessons learned through historic fires to hazards our own crews encounter today, the series will give residents and business owners practical information they can use to help prevent fires before they happen.

For his first installment, Fire Marshal Tidrow introduces the series, the work of the Fire Prevention Division and why understanding the history behind fire codes matters.

The 8th Annual Walk for the Red is underway, and yesterday, participants made their way through Shelby Township as part of their 140-mile journey across Michigan.

Organized by Neighbors United, Walk for the Red raises awareness and funds to support Michigan firefighters and their families facing occupational cancer. Since the effort began, more than $1.2 million has been distributed to more than 300 firefighter families across the state.

Shelby Township was proud to welcome the walkers through our community and show our support for the men and women taking on this incredible journey for their fellow firefighters.

The walk continues across Michigan through Sept. 13. Learn more or support the cause at walkforthered.org. 🚒❤️

Shelby Township firefighters recently spent time sharpening their fireground skills during a hands-on training scenario focused on fire attack, hose advancement, water supply and the rescue of trapped victims.

Training like this gives our crews the opportunity to practice the same skills they may be called on to perform during a real emergency. Repetition builds confidence, reinforces safe and efficient operations and helps ensure our firefighters are ready when our community needs them most.

🚒🔥 Take a look at our crews putting in the work!

🔋 BATTERY BREAKDOWN: Household Batteries

They power everything from smoke alarms and toys to remotes and flashlights, but even the everyday batteries around your home need to be handled, stored and disposed of properly.

Shelby Township Fire Department Lt./Inspector Muylaert kicks off our new Battery Breakdown series with a look at common household batteries and a few simple safety tips you should know.

Thank you to Brave Fire Protection for building and donating an FDC training prop to our department.

The prop will be used during training to simulate connecting to a building’s fire protection system. This is a critical step in suppression operations because supplying the system increases the water available to sprinklers in the affected area and provides water to the building’s standpipe system, allowing crews to deploy handlines more quickly to upper floors or remote fire areas.

Without this prop, it is difficult to provide realistic hands-on training or demonstrate the important role that sprinkler and standpipe systems play in controlling a fire. The prop will also allow crews to practice skills to shut down individual sprinkler heads, decreasing property damage.
