Reverse Alert is a unique component to the County of Summit Emergency Notification and Warning System. The service is capable of warning citizens of severe threats to health and safety by sending emergency messages to email, hearing impaired receiving devices and telephone lines (business lines, cellular phones and home numbers).

You can set this up to get emergency alerts sent to your email, home phone, cell, text, etc. You can also sign up other people...like parents.

The Twinsburg Fire Department is working on a Memorial Brick Walkway to go around the bell in front of Fire Station #1 at 10069 Ravenna Rd. It is to commemorate the years of service of members that have served this community since the beginning of the Fire Department’s operation in the year 1919. Any past members, family or friends of past members or if you just wish to donate to this project (we will select the member and let you know about them if we have any info) the donation is $25 per brick. Please contact Capt. Jim Hartung or Bonnie Kocmit at 330-963-6256 during regular business hours. The installation is planned for completion in the Spring of 2012.

Have you had it cleaned recently?
Soot and the tars from burning wood can build up in it and eventually ignite causing a chimney fire.
Having it cleaned and inspected at least once a year is a really good thing to do. Have it done right after the season or right before the season begins.

Fire Departments Help Get the Message Out

According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than six thousand false fire alarms
occur in the United States each day...and the number is increasing.
Local Fire Departments are succeeding in getting the message out through public service announements (PSA's). A 60 second PSA was posted online last February and fire departments throughout the country have participated in getting it aired. View it here.
