Novi Fire Department responds to South Lyon fire while Lyon Township assists

During the South Lyon City Council meeting on April 28, 2025, discussions highlighted community safety and engagement, particularly in response to a recent fire incident. Council member Kurzweil addressed concerns raised by residents regarding the fire response, specifically questioning why Novi was mentioned as a backup instead of Lyon Township, which also responded to the fire. The fire department clarified that during large incidents, multiple departments are called in, and a coordinated plan is in place to ensure coverage.

In addition to fire safety discussions, Council member Hanson expressed gratitude towards city staff for their efforts in flushing hydrants in local neighborhoods. This spring activity not only serves a critical maintenance function but also engaged the community, as families gathered to watch the process, creating a sense of excitement among children.

These discussions underscore the city council's commitment to public safety and community involvement, reinforcing the importance of effective communication and collaboration among neighboring municipalities during emergencies. As South Lyon continues to prioritize these areas, residents can expect ongoing efforts to enhance safety and foster community spirit.
