    5 communities group-purchase ambulances

    The Cities of Blue Ash, Loveland, Sharonville, Mason and Symmes Township joined forces to purchase replacement ambulances for each community. Through their combined organization known as the Northeast Fire Collaborative (NEFC) these communities look for ways to: “Improve service, enhance training and save tax dollars on group purchasing.”

    “Recently we received a regional grant for new self-contained breathing apparatus. This grant was worth nearly eight hundred thousand dollars.” – Chief Kirk Mousa

     

    Together these five communities developed a single ambulance specification that provides for commonality of patient compartment configuration. “This type cooperation allows for maximum savings through multi-unit discounts” said acting Fire Chief Bryan Brumagen, City of Mason Fire Department.

    “The NEFC has been cooperating now for 10 years” said Fire Chief Rick Brown with the City of Blue Ash Fire Department. “Just last year the group came together for the construction of a Fire Training Tower that is shared by the NEFC as well as other regional partners.”

    The ambulances that were purchased went in service just this past month. “These units replace aging equipment and were part of each community’s capital fleet replacement schedule” said Fire Chief Otto Huber with the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department.

    “Our collaborative looks for ways to apply for grants to improve service” said Fire Chief Kirk Mousa of the City of Sharonville Fire Department. “Recently we received a regional grant for new self-contained breathing apparatus. This grant was worth nearly eight hundred thousand dollars.”

    “The fire collaborative that was started in 2008, following the great recession, has proved to be a worthy endeavor for our communities. It improves service for all our communities and provides for improved training and equipment for our firefighters” said Dave Kennedy, City Manager for the City of Loveland.

  • Champions Tour through Loveland for Loveland Women Division I State Soccer Champs

    Champions Tour through Loveland for Loveland Women Division I State Soccer Champs

    Dear Loveland Community and Tiger Nation, 

    We want to make you aware of the plans in place to honor our outstanding State Champion Lady Tigers Soccer Team. The student-athletes and their coaches have requested to conduct a Champions Tour through our school district and community on Friday, Dec. 8. Loveland police and fire officials will be escorting the team during this tour, which includes the following stops:

    ·         8:30 – 8:45 a.m. – Loveland Elementary School

    ·         8:45 – 9 a.m. – Loveland Primary School

    ·         9:15 – 9:30 a.m. – Loveland Early Childhood Center

    ·         9:45 – 10 a.m. – Loveland Middle School

    ·         10:15 – 11 a.m. – Loveland Board Office

    ·         11 – 11:15 a.m. – Loveland Intermediate School

    ·         2 – 2:20 p.m. – Loveland High School (There will be a video shown in the gym which highlights the season and the journey.)

    Please feel free to join us at any of the stops we are making along the tour. 

    The team made the decision to proceed in this fashion because they want an opportunity to thank Tiger Nation for supporting and cheering for them during this amazing state run, and the two dates proposed for a community parade were in direct conflict with plans the girls had that could not be rearranged.

    Additionally, the Loveland Board of Education will recognize the State Champion Lady Tigers Soccer Team at the 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, Board Business Meeting held at the Loveland Intermediate School Media Center. All members of the Tiger Family are invited to attend this event.

    Symmes Township is recognizing the winning team 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, at a Township meeting. Tuesday, Jan. 9, Loveland City Council will honor the team at the scheduled city council meeting, and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16, Miami Township has also invited the team to join them at one of their business meetings.  

    The Loveland Athletic Department will induct the entire 2017 Lady Tigers Soccer Team into our Loveland High School Athletic Hall of Fame during halftime of our Tiger basketball games vs. Kings Friday, Dec. 15.

    Finally, our Loveland Athletic Boosters are generously going to purchase State Championship rings for our student-athletes and coaches. When the rings come in, we will organize a public ring ceremony event, where all are welcome.

    We are so proud of the Lady Tigers Soccer Team accomplishments and all they have achieved. Please help us celebrate their success at one of the above events, and for the events currently unscheduled, please look for additional details to come.

    My Best and Go Tigers!

  • Local Fill-a-Fire-Boot Campaign on August 12

    Local Fill-a-Fire-Boot Campaign on August 12

     

    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.
