After 31 years of service to DCEMS and 36 total years of service to Delaware County, Lt. Brad Fischer has retired. During @delawarecoohio commissioner session yesterday, Brad was honored for his distinguished career to the citizens and visitors of the county. In session he was presented with a proclamation from the commissioners and a flag which flew over DCEMS Station 8 during part of his time there. His plans are now focused on spending time with his family. We wish you all the best, and thank you sir for your contributions to the health and wellness of our community.
We wish everyone a very happy 4th of July on this milestone year for our country. We thank everyone in public safety working this weekend and we hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe holiday weekend!
You probably already know this but it’s going to be hot again today. The heat can create all kinds of problems especially for those without air conditioning. Our partners at Delaware County Emergency Management have partnered with @pin_delaware again for the annual fan drive and the need is greater now than ever. Consider getting a couple fans for the fan drive and helping those in your community. Drop off a fan at any of our 11 stations and we will get them where they need to go.
Pictured here is a drop off we made of 23 fans. Thanks to all who have and who will contribute in the future.
