The Allen-Clay Joint Fire District joins the Harris-Elmore Fire Department in mourning the loss of retired Firefighter/Medic Jeff Herman Sr.

Jeff faithfully served the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District from 2003 until his retirement in 2025. During those 22 years, he dedicated himself to serving our community with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping others. He made a lasting impact on our department and on everyone who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

We extend our deepest condolences to Jeff’s family, friends, and our brothers and sisters at Harris-Elmore Fire Department, Gibsonburg Fire Department, North Central EMS, and Woodville Fire Department.

Thank you for your years of dedicated service, Jeff. Your watch is over. Rest easy, brother—we’ll take it from here.

Before lighting any fireworks:

✔ Have a hose or bucket of water nearby.
✔ Light only one firework at a time.
✔ Never lean over a firework while lighting it.
✔ Never try to relight a "dud."

A little preparation goes a long way toward preventing an emergency.

Sparklers may look harmless, but they burn hotter than most people realize.

• Keep them away from young children.
• Use them outdoors only.
• Place used sparklers in a bucket of water before throwing them away.

A fun celebration shouldn't end with a trip to the emergency room.
