    Loveland-Symmes Fire Department awarded five Samsung/Android tablets

    by Bruce Hawk,

    The Ohio Division of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) selected the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department (LSFD) as an awardee of five Samsung/Android tablets.

    The advancements in technology have allowed for improvements in the ability or firefighters to document the care that they provide to their customers. Tablets can be utilized to assist in the process of documenting critical patient care more effectively. In addition, tablets can provide valuable information to emergency responders during critical incidents. The ability to decrease the amount of time spent documenting actions allows for an increase of focus to be given to the actual patient care being provided.

    Jon Frye, Deputy Chief of Communications and Technology for the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department stated, “These tablets will allow our firefighters to continue to provide the highest quality of care to our customers. LSFD continues to remain on the cutting edge of technology.”

    The Loveland-Symmes Fire Department is continuously seeking methods to improve the emergency response capabilities for our EMS. These tablets will directly impact the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department’s ability to effectively document the care we provide to our customers. LSFD continues to adhere to their mission statement, “to provide the most technologically advanced fire and rescue service with the highest trained professionals and to deliver that service to our customers with loyalty and compassion.”

    Loveland, Ohio – Members of the Loveland Symmes Fire Department will take to the streets on August 12 from 8:30 AM until noon to raise funds for the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. Chief Huber said, “I am very proud of our staff as they recognize the growing cancer problem within the fire service and step up to be part of the solution.” 

    Firefighters across the country are being diagnosed with work related cancers everyday.  The chemicals that firefighters are exposed to in today’s fire related emergencies far exceed anything seen in the industry in the past 50 years. The State of Ohio has recently passed cancer presumption legislation to assist firefighters with receiving the care they need and deserve.

    Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder

    Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder, a board member of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation said, “We have a long way to go in changing the landscape of protecting our firefighters to the exposure they receive on the fire ground. Our department is up to the challenge and are making great strides everyday to better serve and protect our members.”

    During the boot drive, the Loveland and Symmes communities will see LSFD firefighters along main roads.

    If you would like to donate, you may stop at any of LSFD’s four fire stations or call 513-583-3001.  If you would like more information about this topic, please contact Captain Bruce Hawk at 513-683-6118 or bhawk@lsfd.org.
