Education is a fundamental part of keeping Concord Township a fire safe community.
We offer hands on instructional classes which can be tailored to all age levels. Classes are available for businesses, religious and civic groups, school children, individuals and families. Public events, such as block parties for example, may include a visit by the firefighters with a fire engine and/or rescue squad (as available).To schedule a general educational program or community event, please contact Fire Prevention at (440) 350-1856 or email Inspector Doug Rought at [email protected].
Not sure where to turn for assistance? We have put together a Resident Resource Guide, geared toward our senior residents, to help find answers. You may pick up a copy the next time you visit the Community Center or Town Hall.

Fire Extinguisher
When fire strikes, the #1 priority is to get out safely. Portable fire extinguishers can save lives and property by putting out small, contained fires, but the extinguisher must be the right type and must be used properly.
Concord’s fire educator is available to provide information on purchasing the right type of fire extinguisher, where to put the fire extinguisher in your home, how to operate a fire extinguisher and hands on practice with a fire extinguisher simulator. Classes are available for residents and business; please contact Doug Rought at 440-350-1856 or via email [email protected] for further information or to schedule a class.
Residential Lock Box
When emergencies strike, help is only a call away. However, for those who live by themselves or who have special mobility issues, what happens when they can’t get to the door to let first responders in? A lock box may be able to assist. A lock box is a small metal box attached to an entry door (or other location near an entryway) which holds a key to the door. Only the fire department has the access key to a lock box – this allows the fire department to enter a structure in case of an emergency without causing damage
A residential lock box rental program is available for residents of Concord Township who may be ill, disabled or incapacitated, for example, and who usually do not have someone within their residence who could open the door to responders. The lock box program involves the installation of a rapid access system (key box) for use by emergency workers. This is a courtesy service provided by the department and does not guarantee access to or permanent availability of this program. This program is NOT for commercial use.
For more information and a box application: Lock Box Rental Program or contact Inspector Doug Rought (440) 350-1856 or via email [email protected].
