🚒 Fire Prevention Week: Close Before You Doze!

Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed?

A closed bedroom door can help slow the spread of smoke, heat, and flames during a house fire—giving you valuable time to react.

Before heading to bed tonight:

✅ Close bedroom doors.
✅ Make sure your smoke alarms are working.
✅ Keep escape routes clear.

One simple habit could save your life.

At approximately 8:00 a.m. this morning, Fremont Fire Department was dispatched to the 7800 block of 950 E for a reported structure fire.

Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved barn with fire extending into a nearby garage and semi.

Fremont Fire responded with:

* Tanker 25 — 2 personnel
* Tanker 26 — 2 personnel
* Ladder 21 — 3 personnel
* Truck 29 — 2 personnel
* Command 20 — 1 Chief

A total of 16 Fremont Fire personnel responded to the incident.

Due to the size of the fire and the need for additional water and manpower, mutual aid was requested. Montgomery, Camden, and Reading Fire Departments responded from Hillsdale County with tankers and manpower. Lakeland Fire Department responded from Branch County with additional manpower.

Orland Fire Department stood by at the Fremont Outlet Mall to provide coverage for the Fremont area while crews operated at the scene.

Crews operated for approximately two hours before returning to service. No injuries were reported.

Thank you to all of our mutual aid partners for their assistance this morning.

25 years ago, our nation changed forever.

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 lives were lost in the attacks on our country. Among them were 343 members of the FDNY who made the ultimate sacrifice while answering the call.

Today, we remember every life lost, every family forever changed, and every firefighter, law enforcement officer, EMS provider, military member, and civilian who showed incredible courage in the face of tragedy.

We also remember those who have since lost their lives from illnesses related to their service and recovery efforts at Ground Zero.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and memory remain with us.

We will never forget.
