A huge thank you to Pymatuning Valley School District for allowing our fire department to use your buses for training! We truly appreciate your continued support of our firefighters and our community.

For this training, our firefighters utilized the buses for SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) training, giving our members valuable hands-on experience in a realistic environment.

Training like this helps prepare our firefighters for the challenging situations they may encounter on an actual emergency call.

Thank you again, Pymatuning Valley Schools, for supporting our department and helping us stay prepared!

Last nights training focused on a challenging bus rollover onto a car, giving our crews the opportunity to practice vehicle stabilization, extrication, patient access, and working together during a complex motor vehicle incident.

A huge thank you to North Shenango, Kinsman, and Wayne Fire Departments, as well as Andover PD and CCAN, for coming out and training with us! We would also like to thank the PV schools for letting us train on their school bus. We appreciate it more than you know. We would also like to thank Birrell’s towing for the vehicles and the towing of the vehicles.

We truly appreciate everyone who took the time to come out, participate, and work together to sharpen our skills. Training together makes us stronger and better prepared for the real thing.

Thank you to everyone who helped make tonight’s training a success!

Deputies are taking reports of scammers calling citizens and telling them that their family member/loved one got beat up in the county jail and they need to give the scammers money.

The Ashtabula County jail staff will NEVER call anyone and ask for money.
