☀️ Heat Safety Reminder from Greentown Fire Department EMS ☀️
During our monthly EMS training this week, crews reviewed the recognition and treatment of heat-related emergencies. With temperatures expected to climb later this week, we wanted to share a few important reminders to help keep our community safe.
💧 Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day.
🧢 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
🌡️ Limit strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
🚗 Never leave children, pets, or vulnerable adults in a parked vehicle—even for a few minutes.
⚠️ Know the signs of heat-related illness:
• Heat Exhaustion: heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache
• Heat Stroke: confusion, altered mental status, hot/dry skin, loss of consciousness
🚑 Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911 immediately if someone becomes confused, unconscious, or shows signs of severe heat illness.
Please remember to check on elderly neighbors, young children, and anyone who may not have reliable access to air conditioning.
As temperatures rise later this week, take a few extra precautions and help keep yourself, your family, and your neighbors safe.
Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe. 🚒🚑☀️

🚒 Monthly Training Recap 🚒

This month’s training focused on pump operations — a skill that is just as much an art as it is a science. From water supply management to pressure calculations and apparatus operations, continual practice helps ensure we’re ready when our community needs us most.

A big thank you to our neighbors at Hartville Fire Department for joining us. We always appreciate the opportunity to train together, share knowledge, and strengthen the partnerships that help us serve our communities more effectively.

Working together today helps us perform better together tomorrow. 💪🚒

Happy Father’s Day!

Today, we celebrate all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, father figures, and mentors who make a difference in the lives of their families and communities.

A special thank you to the dads of Greentown Fire who balance the responsibility of serving others while being there for the people who matter most at home. Whether responding to emergencies, training, or spending time with family, your dedication does not go unnoticed.

We hope all the fathers in our community have a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved Father’s Day surrounded by those they love.

❤️ Grateful. Thankful. Humbled. ❤️
Today, we had the privilege of participating in Akron Children's Summer Camp, and it's hard to put into words just how meaningful the experience was.

Watching these campers laugh, challenge themselves, support one another, and simply enjoy being kids is something truly special. Their courage, resilience, and positive spirit are an inspiration to everyone around them.

A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, medical staff, and supporters who make this incredible day possible. We are honored to have been a small part of an event that has such a lasting impact on so many lives.

Today was a powerful reminder that strength comes in many forms, and that hope, friendship, and encouragement can make all the difference.

🔥❤️ In just a few days, members of Greentown Fire Department will be participating in the annual Akron Children’s Burn Camp.

Burn Camp is a special place where young burn survivors can enjoy a week filled with fun, friendship, confidence-building activities, and unforgettable memories. More importantly, it provides an opportunity for campers to connect with others who have faced similar challenges and to realize they are not alone on their journey.

For many firefighters, this is one of the most rewarding events of the year. We’re honored to spend time with these incredible kids, support their growth, and witness the strength, resilience, and courage they demonstrate every day.

Please join us in wishing all of the campers, volunteers, medical staff, and firefighters a safe, fun, and memorable week at camp. We can’t wait to be part of another amazing year! 🔥🏕️❤️

We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to the members of Uniontown Fire Department for inviting us to participate in Sunday's vehicle extrication training.
The hands-on experience was outstanding and provided a great opportunity to sharpen and refresh critical extrication skills alongside fellow firefighters. Training like this helps ensure we're prepared to provide the highest level of service when our community needs us most.
We truly appreciate the time, effort, and resources that went into hosting this valuable training. Thank you for the invitation and the opportunity to learn together!

💚 June is PTSD Awareness Month 💚

At Greentown Fire, we know that some injuries aren’t visible.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It impacts first responders, military veterans, healthcare workers, and members of our community.

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. By raising awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting one another, we can help those struggling know they are not alone.

This month, we encourage everyone to learn more about PTSD, check in on family, friends, and coworkers, and remember that recovery is possible.

💚 You are not alone.
💚 Help is available.
💚 It’s okay to ask for support.



“The bravest thing someone can do is ask for help when they need it.”

Tick-related illnesses are rapidly rising in Ohio. Lyme disease cases skyrocketed from just 415 statewide in 2020 to 2,800 last year. And Lyme disease isn’t the only tick-related ailment you should be concerned about. The lone star tick, infamous for causing alpha-gal syndrome – a potentially life-threatening red meat allergy – has made its way to Ohio. Here’s what to watch for and how to protect yourself: https://aultman.org/blog/caring-for-you/watch-out-for-tick-related-illnesses
