We would like to send our condolences to the Druhot family for the loss of Tony Druhot a former part time firefighter for the City of Angola, Pleasant Township and surrounding area. Tony severed the area from October 2016 to April 2020 then returned back to northwest Ohio and continued to serve until his death. Rest in peace brother Tony, we will take it from here.....

It is with deep gratitude and profound respect that we honor the incredible legacy of our brother, Tony A. Druhot.

Tony has defined what it means to be dedicated, committed, and selfless. His years of service to the Wauseon Fire Department and our community go far beyond the runs answered or the hours on the clock. His true impact is found in the mentorship he provided to new firefighters, the kindness he showed to everyone he met, and the wisdom he shared daily around the station.

Tony, thank you for giving so much of yourself to our department’s collective journey. The lasting impact you leave behind will continue to guide us for years to come.

Please join us in thanking Tony for his unwavering service and celebrating a true local hero.

Forever a Brother. Forever a Hero.

As summer approaches and our lakes become busier, the Angola Fire Department reminds everyone to make water safety a priority. Always wear a life jacket, never swim alone, and avoid operating watercraft under the influence.

Our crews continue to train aggressively in water rescue operations to ensure we are prepared to protect our community when emergencies happen. Stay alert, stay prepared, and enjoy the water safely this season.
