The Ohio Task Force on Volunteer Fire Service kicks off its regional roundtable listening tour in northeast Ohio from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. July 27 at the Wayne County Regional Training Facility in Apple Creek (Wayne County). These roundtable events will be held in various regions across the state and provide an opportunity for firefighters and community members to share information with members of the task force. The task force will then be responsible for making recommendations to improve the sustainability of the volunteer fire service in Ohio.

It is extremely important that the volunteer community participate in these meetings so potential solutions can be explored. In addition, a separate survey will be distributed later this summer that will also be seeking input from the volunteer firefighting community to further help guide the work of the Task Force. Both the regional meetings and the completion of the future survey are very important to help improve the critical services that volunteer fire departments provide.
These meetings are free and open to the public.
