“After 14 months, lots and lots of hours, sometimes
70+ a week, leaving home at 8am and getting back at 6am the next day for a few days a week, I can say I’m done. Finally. I’m a Paramedic. Thank you to all my classmates who made it fun, and all my instructors from the begin-ning of basic my junior year 2010 all the way to today. Couldn’t have asked for better teach-ers, and they really made these last few years
fun. Now I can legally Sign, Rane Sommers, FFII, NREMT-P”

FRIGID Temps - “FIRSTS” in MA - FIRST Class operations!
For the first time in probably ever, we find an Akron Fire Department pump, on McKinley Ave SW
in Canton. Their trench/collapse personnel assisted with the house explosion today. Russ Volkert
I bet you are right, or at least in a very, very long time. We had a pump down from Canton twice,
the last time was in 1926. Christopher Tritt Tell me about. I was at Harrison Ave. and West Tusc.
when Hudson and Akron got off 77. What a site. Solid effort Canton Fire.
Canton Fire responded to a structure fire on McKin-
ley Ave SW late this morning. On arrival units found
a 2 story house that had exploded and was on fire.
The fire was extinguished and the the Canton Fire
Technical Rescue Operations Team was requested,
as well as the Ohio Region 5 USAR Team and Mara-
thon Fire Department Technical Rescue Team. The
units used listening devices and search cameras to determine if there were any victims in the un-
stable structure. It was determined that there may have
been potential victims, and the building was shored and
rescuers entered the structure to do a search. No victims
were found. Thank you to all members from the Mara-
thon Fire Department and the Rescue Technicians from
the Region 5 USAR team for all you assistance on the cold
day. Thank you to Stark FDRU for assisting us today, it
