It was the early morning hours of Thursday July the 19th when Chester Township Fire and EMS staff were returning home from an earlier medical run. One of the team members of Chester Township Fire (Becca Spencer) was on her way home and noticed smoke emitting from 73 Grill (our local family based eatery). She sounded the alarm and crews quickly arrived to find an active fire. Because of the attentiveness of Fire Fighter and EMT Becca Spencer, our local eatery was saved. Her early notification may even result in 73 Grill being open today.
"Great Job!" doesn't even begin to describe the outstanding commitment the Spencer family has in safe guarding our community. So next time you see Becca, be sure to thank her for saving the place that has AMAZING Steak Hoagies!
Great job CTFD!
On July 18th 2018 at approximately 11am, Chester Township was notified of a vehicle incident with injuries and possible fire. Responding units transported some individual(s) to the hospital while our fire team evaluated the area for fire risks. Vehicles were undrivable, and were towed from the scene as directed by OSP. 73 and 380 suffered some traffic delays for about an hour.
Remember to buckle up Ohio!
Staff of the Chester Township Fire Department received training on drafting at the Caesar Creek State Park.
Drafting is where Engines, Tankers or Tenders pump water from a pond, lake, pool or other static water source.
Training in drafting is VITAL for rural departments as we do not have pressurized hydrants like big cities do. When there is a fire, rural departments have to draft and transport thousands of gallons of water to the scene of a fire.
Despite all of our hard work that day... We did find time to "dunk" the new guy (Justin) as part of his initiation into the department.
