This Memorial Day, we were honored to take part in our community parade and create lasting memories with the families who came out to celebrate.🚒🇺🇸

A special thank you goes to Outspoken E-Bikes for generously providing us with an e-bike for the event. The bike became a crowd favorite as our firefighters used it to travel along the parade route, handing out candy to children and families. With its convenient rear basket packed full of treats, it helped us connect with our community in a fun and memorable way.

Partnerships like these make a difference, and we're grateful for the support of local businesses that help us engage with the residents we proudly serve. Thank you, Outspoken E-Bikes, for helping us spread smiles and make this Memorial Day Parade even more special.

Did you know routine hydrant flushing helps keep our water system clean and safe? While it’s a good thing, it can temporarily affect your water at home. Here are a few quick tips to keep things running smoothly:

💧 Check your water before use – If it looks cloudy or discolored, let it run from a cold tap for a few minutes until it clears.

👕 Hold off on laundry – Avoid washing clothes during flushing times to prevent staining.

🚿 Limit water use if possible – This helps avoid pulling sediment into your home’s plumbing.

🧊 Flush your lines – After flushing is complete, run cold water from the lowest faucet in your home for a few minutes.

🚰 Clean faucet screens – If pressure seems low, sediment may have collected—just rinse out the aerator.

These temporary changes are normal and should resolve quickly. Thanks for helping keep our water system in top shape! 💙

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting the freedoms we cherish will never be forgotten.
As we spend time with family and friends this holiday, let us also remember those who gave everything for our nation and keep their loved ones in our thoughts.
From all of us at the Parma Heights Fire Department, thank you to our fallen heroes and to all who have served.
🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We are grateful. 🇺🇸

FIREFIGHTER FEATURE: MEET JOSHUA NEBOZUK 🔥🚒🔥

Meet Firefighter Josh “Nebo” Nebozuk, proudly serving since 2021!
For Nebo, firefighting is more than a career — it’s a family tradition. Inspired by his father, a retired Captain from Lakewood Fire, and his grandfather, a retired Cleveland firefighter, he continues a legacy of service spanning generations. ❤️🚒
“One of the most satisfying parts of the job is problem-solving. People call us for all kinds of problems, and we’re always willing to help find a solution.”
When he’s not responding to calls, you’ll find Nebo training with his crew, working out, cooking dinner together at the station, and making sure everyone watches 🎥 The Big Lebowski for the 100th time.
Beyond the firehouse, Nebo is deeply committed to the community:
✅ Teaching CPR to local businesses and residents
✅ Installing car seats as a certified CPST
✅ Helping families stay safe every day
He believes teamwork is the backbone of the fire service:
💪 “We all have different strengths, and when we combine them, we can do great things.”
At home, Nebo enjoys life on his homestead with his wife and kids, producing eggs, maple syrup, honey, fruits, and vegetables 🍯🥚🍁. He also enjoys hunting, spending time outdoors, and riding his motorcycle whenever he gets the chance 🏍️
And for those wondering:
☕ Coffee all day
⚡ Energy drink before a workout
Nebo also reminds everyone of one simple way to help firefighters in an emergency:
🏠 Make sure your address numbers are clearly visible and unobstructed.
Thank you, Firefighter Nebozuk, for your dedication, service, and commitment to the community! 👏🚒🇺🇸

FIREFIGHTER FEATURE: MEET NICK SALMAN 🔥🚒🚑🔥

Since joining the fire service in 2020, Nick has dedicated his life to something bigger than himself — serving others and protecting the community. 🚒❤️

For Nick, the most rewarding part of the job is the brotherhood inside the firehouse and the opportunity to help people during some of the toughest moments of their lives. From training and workouts 💪 to cooking meals together 🍳 and responding when duty calls, every day is built on teamwork, trust, and commitment.

When asked how he handles the stress of the job, Nick shared that keeping his faith in Christ guides him through every challenge 🙏✝️

Outside of emergency calls, Nick and his department continue making a lasting impact through community events, public outreach, and everyday interactions that truly matter 🤝

His message to the public:
“Trust in our ability to help you in your worst situation.”

And during those long shifts? Forget the energy drinks — Green Tea keeps him going 🍵😄

Thank you, Nick, for your dedication, strength, and service to our community. Your passion inspires us all. 🚒🔥👏

If you see Nick out and about, be sure to thank him for his service!

🔥SAFETY TIPS🔥

To "Check Your 5" for outdoor fire safety, FEMA and the U.S. Fire Administration recommend assessing the critical 5-foot zone immediately surrounding your home. This means removing all combustible materials and creating defensible space.
The 5-Foot Zone Safety Checklist
👉Remove anything that can burn: Clear away dry plants, weeds, dead leaves, and pine needles from your yard, roof, and gutters.
👉Relocate combustibles: Move wood piles, patio furniture, and trash cans at least 30 feet away from your home whenever possible.
👉Space out equipment: Ensure outbuildings, propane tanks, and structures have at least 10 feet of clear, bare soil space around them.
👉Fire pit placement: If using an outdoor fire pit for cooking, make sure it is at least 3 feet away from your house, overhanging branches, or anything flammable.
👉Monitor and maintain: Always cover wood-burning fire pits with a metal screen, closely watch children, and thoroughly extinguish the fire before leaving the backyard.

There’s a special kind of pride that comes from watching a community grow stronger together. Here in Parma Heights, that spirit is on full display as we welcome an exciting new addition to our fire department and celebrate the people who make this work possible every day.🚒
Our new 100-foot mid-mount Cobra ladder truck is more than just a piece of equipment—it’s a symbol of progress, preparedness, and our ongoing commitment to protecting the community. Built on a Rosenbauer COMMANDER™ chassis and equipped with a King Cobra articulating platform, this impressive apparatus brings enhanced capability and reach to serve our residents. With a 2,000 GPM pump, a 300-gallon water tank, and a 100-foot vertical reach, it stands ready to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
If you’ve driven by the station recently, you may have seen crews training day and night. Our firefighters are learning every detail of this 46-foot-long truck to ensure it’s ready when it matters most. We’ve appreciated the waves, the honks, and the encouragement from so many of you. Those small gestures remind us that we are not just serving a community...we are part of one!👋
While there’s still work to be done- installing radios and mounting essential firefighting equipment- the finish line is in sight, and this truck will soon be placed into service to help keep Parma Heights safe.
Thank you for standing with us, encouraging us, and being an essential part of everything we do.
Together, we move forward—stronger, safer, and ready for whatever comes next.☺️
