CALEDONIA â Last July, Caledonia K-9 Officer Cory Radke was one of the first to respond to a house fire at 6821 Beechnut Drive, just south of Six Mile Road. He was able to go inside the home and rescue a dog.
However, as far as slowing the fire which was quickly consuming the house, he was unable to do much. All he could do was wait until firefighters arrived.
Now, the Caledonia Police Department is doing more to prepare for situations like these. When police officers are able to arrive first at an active fire, they want to do something to stop at least some of the damage.
