Toledo Fire & Rescue

It is with heavy hearts that we stand alongside the brave men and women of the North Royalton Fire Department as they mourn the loss of one of their own after making the ultimate sacrifice, succumbing to injuries sustained while battling a structure fire last night.

Yesterday, approximately 12:15 p.m., crews were dispatched to a reported structure fire in the 700 block of East Broadway. The 9-1-1 caller reported flames visible through a window with heavy, black smoke coming from the home.

From July through September, our crews have continued to show up and do what they do best, no matter what the day brings. Through the heat, long days, and unexpected challenges, they remain committed to serving others and doing a job they truly care about.

Yesterday, September 24th, the citizens of Toledo came together for a special City of Toledo Ambassador Academy Night. This evening gave residents an inside look at the important work of TFRD and TPD with their vital role, every day in keeping our community safe.
