We will be conducting training operations at three structures located on Massillon Road near Burgess Drive over the next several weeks.

Residents in the area may notice emergency vehicles, fire personnel, and increased activity as crews conduct hands-on training exercises. These evolutions are an important part of maintaining readiness and ensuring our personnel remain prepared to serve the community safely and effectively.

This is a training activity only, and there is no emergency situation associated with these operations. Thank you.

It's also a time to reflect on the work of all of those who came before us here at Green Fire that helped make us who we are today.

We also recognize all of the hospital personnel, educators, administrators, and other local fire department and EMS companies. Thank you!
