Founded in 1931, the Ridgeville Township Fire Department was originally formed as a volunteer service, serving a population of less than 5,000 residents. In 1957, an official station (Old Station 1) was built to house fire apparatus and equipment used by the firefighters. By 1960, the township had grown enough, and the city of North Ridgeville was formed. Along with a surge in population, the need to expand city departments was soon evident, and the fire department transitioned to a full-time service in 1967, affording the residents protection around the clock. In 1970, the department's first ambulance was put into service, responding to medical emergencies throughout the city and providing basic life support (BLS). In 1974, Station 2 was built to help improve response times to a quickly growing southern portion of the city. 1995 saw an expansion of the department, adding 7 new members who were all state certified Paramedics. With these Paramedics, the city was now able to provide advanced life support (ALS) service to it's residents. All members hired since 1995 are required to be state certified Paramedics prior to employment. The department now responds to both fire and medical emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. All active members are state certified Firefighters and Paramedics. At this time, the North Ridgeville Fire Department is made up of 40 members including:
One Fire Chief,
Two Assistant Fire Chiefs (Training and Fire Prevention),
Three 12 member shifts working in 24 hour rotations known as A, B, and C shift, each comprised of 1 Captain, 3 Lieutenants and 8 Firefighters,
and one Civilian Administrative Assistant. Per the City of North Ridgeville’s Social Media Policy:

🚪🔥 **October Fire Safety Reminder: CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE!** 🔥🚪

Did you know that something as simple as closing your bedroom door before going to sleep could save your life during a house fire?

In recognition of **Fire Prevention Month**, the North Ridgeville Fire Department wants to remind residents about the importance of **"Close Before You Doze!"**

During a house fire, a closed bedroom door can make a tremendous difference by:

🚪 **Slowing the Spread of Fire** – A closed door acts as a barrier, helping slow the spread of flames.

💨 **Reducing Smoke Exposure** – Closed doors can help limit the amount of dangerous smoke and toxic gases entering a bedroom.

🌡️ **Keeping Temperatures Lower** – Temperatures in a room with a closed door can remain significantly cooler than those in rooms exposed to fire.

⏰ **Providing Valuable Time** – Slowing the spread of heat and smoke can give occupants additional time to escape or await rescue.

✅ **Make It a Nightly Habit!**

Before heading to bed, remember to:
- Close bedroom doors.
- Make sure your smoke alarms are working.
- Have a home fire escape plan and practice it with your family.
- If a fire occurs, get out and stay out! If your escape route is blocked, keep the door closed, call 911, and signal for help from a window.
