Northern Ohio Public Safety Support

Northern Ohio Public Safety Support Our trained volunteers will deliver this service to agencies without a rehabilitation system or to supplement existing resources when requested.

Northern Ohio Public Safety Support (NOPSS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide essential rehabilitation service, as identified in NFPA 1584, during fires, technical rescues, training exercises, and other operations when requested. Our Mission:
