Farmington Hills police, fire reports detail city's public safety efforts

Farmington Hills Fire Chief Jon Unruh presents the department's annual report at Monday's city council meeting. Farmington Hills has gotten a reputation — expressed on several websites designed for the purpose — of being one of the state's safest communities.

Perry(Photo: City of Novi) Employees of the Novi police and fire departments were recently honored at their annual awards program, recognizing those who had a positive impact on the community. “Our men and women work tirelessly to build public trust and keep our community safe,” Director of Public Safety/Chief of Police David Molloy said.

Livonia fire crews had to battle several elements early Saturday morning as they rescued two people from the basement of a burning home. Keith Bo, the city's fire marshal, said firefighters were called at about 4 a.m. Saturday to a home in the 15000 block of Green Lane, one block west of Inkster. He said a woman, who was sleeping in the basement, woke up smelling smoke.

Veteran named Hills' top firefighter

Like many Americans, Dan Wecker was impressed by the response of police, firefighters and first responders to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. And, like many Americans, Wecker was moved to do something to show his support and, more importantly, to help. Wecker saw that the Farmington Hills Fire Department was seeking paid, on-call firefighters.

A fire that damaged a Plymouth Township home Tuesday night appears to have started in a gas fireplace, Fire Chief Dan Phillips said. No one was inside the home at the time. The homeowner found his house on fire in the 4000 block of Ivywood Lane when he came home at 11:39 p.m. Tuesday.

If you don’t believe me, ask the people you live with (family, wife, husband, kids).
