May 4th House Fire – At approximately 415AM, Northfield Village Fire Department responded to a working structure fire at 53 Beach Avenue in Northfield. The resident of the structure was able to escape the fire prior to the fire department’s arrival. She was later taken to a local emergency room for evaluation for issues not related to the fire. The fire appears to have started in the kitchen area of the home and the exact cause is undetermined at this time. The home suffered significant smoke, fire and heat damage. The resident’s dog died in the fire. No firefighters were injured during firefighting activities and the fire was brought under control at about 435AM. Macedonia, Twinsburg, Oakwood Fire Departments and Valley Fire District all assisted Northfield in fighting the fire.
Fire Hydrants – NVFD completed its annual fire hydrant flushing program earlier this month. The following hydrants are completely out of service at this time and have been forwarded to Cleveland Water for repair: 230 Stratford, North Plaza @ the PD, Corner of Huntington and Cambridge, 129 Vincent, Corner of Lincoln & Steeplechase, 9315 Lincoln, 249 Kennedy & 227 Kennedy (8 Hydrants in Total).
Smoke Detectors – NVFD has at least 60 smoke detectors at this time to be given to residents of Northfield Village who need them. If a resident needs assistance installing a smoke detector, we would be glad to help. If someone just needs a new battery for their smoke detector, we also have those available at the fire station for residents. Smoke detectors have a lifespan of about 10 years, after that they may not function properly. Smoke detectors remain one of the best devices available to alert you of a fire in your home.
