Today, Akron Fire Local 330 came together to host our Annual Firefighter Memorial.

We gathered to honor the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

To our fallen brothers: your courage inspires us, your sacrifice grounds us, and your legacy will forever be stitched into the fabric of our community.

We carry your memory with us on every shift, into every fire, and in every act of service. You are gone, but you will never be forgotten.

đź’ś October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month đź’ś

Every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued in their relationships. Domestic violence is not always physical, it can be emotional, financial, or psychological, and it affects millions of people every year.

This month, let’s stand together to break the silence, support survivors, and work toward a future free from abuse. Your voice matters. Your support matters.

*If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1‑800‑799‑SAFE (7233) or text “START” to 88788.*

Wear purple this month and speak up and out against domestic violence. Together, we can make a difference!
