From the Chief’s Desk
Dear Residents,
I hope this message finds you well. As we transition into spring, I wanted to provide you with an update on the latest happenings at the Concord Township Fire Department.
Firstly, I’m delighted to report that during the 2024 Solar Eclipse, Concord Fire did not respond to any emergencies related to the event. This speaks to the preparedness of our community and the successful implementation of safety measures throughout Lake County.
Throughout the month of March, our dedicated team responded to a total of 231 incidents, including 164 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) cases, with 137 resulting in transports to local hospitals. Additionally, we handled 7 fire incidents including responses within Concord Township and Mutual Aid to our neighbors.
Here is a summary of our call volume for 2024 through March 31:
Emergency Medical Services 164 with 137 transports to local hospitals
Fire 7 (2 inside Concord and 5 Mutual Aid)
Mutual Aid Given 22
Mutual Aid Received 8
Overlapping Calls 59 (26%)
|  | |
Our Fire Prevention and Education Bureau remained active, conducting a total of 70 inspections and reviewing 4 building plans. We also continued our commitment to public education through various initiatives, such as:
- Community CPR Program
- Red Cross First Aid Training for a Scout Troop
- Fire Safety & Fire Extinguisher Training for employees of Lake Metroparks Environmental Learning Center and Sheetz Gas Station
- Fire training sessions for Riverside High School Students
We also took the opportunity to visit Olon USA to review different fire protection systems and hazards.
Looking ahead, I encourage you to explore the Fire Department section of the Concord Township Website https://concordtwp.com/departments/fire/, where you can find valuable information about our services, including Fire Prevention, Fire Education, Address Signs, Residential Lock Box Program, and Smoke Alarms.
I’d like to draw your attention to our Resident Resource Guide, accessible via the Fire Education page https://concordtwp.com/departments/fire/fire-education/ , which provides links to essential resources available in Lake County, such as crisis intervention hotlines and social support organizations.
Moreover, our American Red Cross Babysitting Course wrapped up another session, with strong participation. Stay updated on our social media and website for future classes including CPR, First Aid, and Babysitting courses.

As always, the Concord Township Fire Department is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community. If you have any questions or require non-emergency assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 440-354-7504.
