Solon Fire Offers Unique Opportunity

SOLON TOWNSHIP — Solon Fire Department is preparing to replace their medic vehicle, and they’re offering a unique opportunity for the right buyer. The department is accepting sealed bids for their well-

maintained 2003 Ford Excursion, a versatile vehicle they say has plenty of life left.

The move comes after the Solon Township Board approved the purchase of a new vehicle back in June this year. On June 17, the fire department acquired a 2024 Chevy Silverado, which has since been sent to Robinson’s Body Shop for decals. Once the Silverado is outfitted and ready for service, the Excursion will officially be retired and made available to the winning bidder.

How to Bid:

You can find all the information about the Excursion here. Sealed bids must be received no later than 5:00 PM on September 8, 2025. Bids can be dropped off or mailed to:
