Yesterday, Captain Jarrett was one of 34 guest speakers invited to participate in the Bellevue High School’s first ever GROWTH session.

During the presentation, He discussed what it’s like to be a firefighter, the various types of incidents fire departments respond to, the best and most challenging aspects of the job, and the training and qualifications required to become a firefighter. Captain Ackerman also assisted by answering students questions and discussing other career opportunities within the fire service.

Following the presentation, students had the opportunity to try on firefighter turnout gear and get hands on experience using the Hurst Jaws of Life.

We are proud to have opportunities like this to connect with students, share our experiences, and inspire the next generation to consider a career in the fire service.

The Bellevue Fire Department would like to thank the Bellevue High School for the invitation and for providing this great opportunity to engage with students and discuss future career possibilities!

This past week a couple members of the Bellevue Fire Dept took the opportunity to train in Napoleon with instructors from SATRA covering rope rescue specific to grain facilities. Members worked from height to simulate rescues from multiple scenarios. Gaining knowledge and skill in technical rope rescue. The instructors from SATRA were top-notch. This type of training is hard to put together due to such demanding needs and capabilities. We are thankful for the opportunity to participate in this training and highly recommend this to any department looking to further their technical rope rescue skill

The Bellevue Fire Department is thrilled to announce the generous donation of CPR training equipment from Barton Malow
Through their generous support, the department has received 10 Preston CPR Manikins, including:
• 4 Adult Manikins
• 2 Child Manikins
• 4 Infant Manikins
These training devices provide instant audio and visual feedback, helping users see, hear, and feel whether they are performing high-quality CPR correctly. This real-time guidance reinforces proper compression depth, rate, and technique, creating a more effective, realistic training experience.
This equipment will enhance the Bellevue Fire Department's ability to provide CPR instruction to firefighters, first responders, and community members, helping improve lifesaving skills throughout our community.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Barton Malow for their commitment to public safety and their investment in emergency preparedness. Their generosity will help us train more individuals in high-quality CPR and ultimately contribute to saving lives.
Thank you, Barton Malow, for your support of the Bellevue Fire Department and the citizens we proudly serve.

The BFD wants to give a shout out to Clyde Fire Department for coming to help today with the flag. There was a plan in place and times were looking really good for us to all be set up early, but much to everyone's surprise, the BIGBOY made better time coming from Fostoria than expected. So we dont want anyone thinking they were late to the party. We are glad to have such great neighboring departments who are willing to help.
