We do not ordinarily wish to share families’ tragedies publicly on our page; however, we want to take this opportunity to outline a couple events that have occurred over the past several days that have displayed firsthand the cooperation between community members and public safety entities.

Through prompt 911 notification by neighbors/passersby and immediate response by fire crews, Solon Fire and mutual aid partners contained and minimized losses resulting from two separate structure fires. Quick action in extinguishing and containment ensured that fire did not spread. No injuries were reported in either incident.

Fires spread rapidly, doubling in size every 30 seconds. Calling 911 is the fastest way to ensure that firefighters are dispatched immediately. Seconds can save lives.

We’d also like to remind you that we are here for you. 24/7. 365 days a year.

Yesterday, at approximately 1035 am, Solon Fire Rescue and auto aid departments were dispatched to a reported structure fire on Summerset Drive. The initial call was from a passerby reporting that the garage at this residence was on fire. The passerby attempted to notify the resident, but there was no answer.

Upon arrival, crews observed a visible fire on the outside corner of the garage. Solon firefighters and our auto-aid partners quickly extinguished the fire before it spread into the main residence. The action successfully limited the spread of fire and interior damage to the home. At the time of the fire, the residence was not occupied. There were no reported injuries to civilians or first responders. The cause of the fire appears to be unintentional at this time. Thank you to our partners from SPD, CVD, Twinsburg, and Reminderville.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Chief Meklemburg. May he rest in peace.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Chief Meklemburg. May he rest in peace.

The City of Seven Hills mourns the loss of Fire Chief James A. “Jamie” Meklemburg, Jr., who passed away on April 5, 2026, at the age of 47.

Chief Meklemburg dedicated his life to the fire service and to the communities he proudly served. He began his career in the fire service with the Valley View Fire Department, where he worked part-time starting October 22, 2001, before transitioning to full-time service on June 6, 2006. He later served part-time with the Brooklyn Heights Fire Department beginning September 15, 2009, where he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on June 19, 2018.

Chief Meklemburg left the Valley View Fire Department to become the first-ever full-time Fire Chief of the Seven Hills Fire Department, where he was sworn in on February 11, 2020. During his tenure, he led the department with dedication, professionalism, and a strong commitment to public safety and service to the residents of Seven Hills.

Chief Meklemburg is survived by his wife, Kelly, and their two children, Sophia and James.

Visitation will be held at Busch Funeral Home, 7501 Ridge Road, Parma, on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Columbkille Church on Monday, April 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., followed by interment at All Saints Cemetery.

The City of Seven Hills and the Seven Hills Fire Department ask that the community keep Chief Meklemburg’s family, friends, and colleagues in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
