Tomorrow's the day!

The OHIO BURN BAN starts. We know its been mighty wet, but don't let that fool you. No open burning in October and November from 6am to 6pm.

This includes burning trash, brush, leaves and everything else you can think of. No open burning! If you have any questions feel free to contact your local FD for more information. Grass fires require tons of manpower, are very labor intensive, can require multiple departments and extended resources. Help us prevent wildfires!

For July's fire trainings, our newer members and juniors took a dive right into search and rescue! Crews of 2 were placed into a controlled environment with zero visibility to simulate real life situations where victims may become trapped. Our crews did fantastic, working together, learning basic search patterns and tactics needed for such situations.
