With all the recent rain, flooding concerns, and road construction happening around Ohio, the OHGO App is a great resource to have right on your phone!

It’s free, informative, and super easy to navigate! 📱

A big thank you to ODOT for creating such a helpful resource to keep Ohio drivers informed and safe!

🇺🇸 Never Forget — September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the incredible courage shown by first responders, dispatchers, military members, healthcare workers, and ordinary citizens who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

As members of Beverly Waterford Rescue Squad, we especially remember the firefighters, EMS providers, law enforcement officers, and other responders who answered the call that morning — many making the ultimate sacrifice while trying to save others.

May we never forget the lives lost, the families forever changed, the bravery shown, and the way our country came together in the days that followed.

Today and always, we remember.

🚌 BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY REMINDER 🚑

School is starting back up, which means our roads will once again be busy with school buses, young drivers, parents, and children walking or biking to and from school.

As first responders, we’re asking everyone to slow down, stay alert, and give yourself a little extra time on the road.

🛑 Remember your school bus safety:
• Watch for flashing lights and stop signs on buses.
• STOP when required and never try to pass a stopped school bus.
• Be especially cautious near bus stops, intersections, and school zones.
• Keep an eye out for children along the roadway—they may not always see you.
• Put the phone down and keep your attention on the road.

A few extra seconds of patience could prevent a tragedy.

❤️ Slow down. Stay alert. Watch for our kids. Let’s help make sure everyone gets to school—and back home—safely.

Have a safe and wonderful school year! 🚑🚌📚

🎡 The fair parade is also happening tonight! 🤞🏼Expect extra traffic, pedestrians, and possible delays around town. Please use caution, give yourself a little extra time, and keep an eye out for everyone enjoying the festivities.

Let’s all do our part to keep fair week fun and safe for everyone! ❤️

Slow down. Stay alert. Watch for pedestrians.
