🚒🔥 We had a great time visiting Doherty Elementary School today to talk fire safety with the K–2 students!

We talked about stop, drop, and roll, having a family meeting place, staying safe around matches, lighters, campfires, and fireplaces, when to call 911, and what smoke alarms do. We also had one of our firefighters put on all their gear so the kids could see what we look like during an emergency!

Since it’s Halloween, we even had one student dressed as a firefighter! 🎃👨‍🚒

After the talk, we headed outside so everyone could check out the fire truck and get a picture! 🚒📸

Thanks to Doherty Elementary for having us! We had a blast hanging out with the kids and answering all their great questions!

Today, West Bloomfield Fire, Police, and Dispatch came together for joint incident command scenario training.

Our command staff worked side by side to strengthen coordination, improve communication, and ensure we’re fully prepared to protect our community when it matters most.

Training like this keeps our teams aligned and ready. Proud of the partnership across departments.

A special THANK YOU to the West Bloomfield Fire Department for visiting our Elementary Schools! Students loved seeing the truck up close and learning how firefighters help keep our community safe.

Today, the West Bloomfield Fire Department visited Sheiko Elementary School to talk fire safety with students in kindergarten through fifth grade!

Lieutenant Aratari, Firefighter Sharp, and Firefighter Irland led the fire safety talks, while Firefighter Stange and Firefighter Predhome brought a fire engine for the younger students to see during the school’s fire drill.

Thank you to the staff and students at Sheiko Elementary for welcoming us today and making fire safety a priority!

Keep these important reminders in mind at home:
🚒 Choose an outside meeting place where everyone knows to go if there is a fire.
🚨 Test your smoke alarms monthly. For alarms with replaceable batteries, change them twice a year or as directed by the manufacturer.
🔥 Matches and lighters are tools for adults—never toys for children.

Take a few minutes tonight to talk about fire safety and practice your family’s escape plan!

Please join the West Bloomfield Fire Department in congratulating Battalion Chief Jeff Latkowski on graduating from Eastern Michigan University’s Staff and Command Executive Leadership Program!

Chief Latkowski completed the nine-month program with an outstanding 98.39% average, finishing second in his class!

This accomplishment represents countless hours of studying, additional work on top of his department responsibilities, and time away from his family. We appreciate the effort and commitment he put into this program, along with his family’s support throughout the process.

His dedication to becoming a stronger leader benefits our entire department and the community we serve. Congratulations, Chief Latkowski—we are proud of your achievement!

We have to give a huge thank you to the communication professionals at our West Bloomfield dispatch center.

This morning just before 10:00 firefighters from five fire stations were dispatched to a structure fire in the area of Orchard Lake Road and Cass Lake Road. Fire station 9 arrived on scene to find a detached garage heavily involved with fire starting to spread to homes on either side. Our crews quickly applied water and brought the fire under control. Thank you to the team at M & M Cleaners for making sure the occupants of the home were able to safely exit.
