If the winter storm has impacted you, take a few minutes to make sure you’re heating your home safely.

If you’re using fuel-burning appliances or equipment—such as furnaces, space heaters, or generators make sure they’re working properly and vented correctly.

✔️ Test carbon monoxide alarms so they’re ready to give early warnings
✔️ Clear snow from dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace vents
✔️ Use portable generators outdoors only, away from doors, windows, and vents

Please stay home once the snow starts unless it is an absolute necessity to go out.

I'm proactively declaring a state of emergency in Ohio due to the damaging and dangerous conditions Winter Storm Fern is expected to bring to our state this weekend. I continue to encourage everyone to stay home unless it's absolutely necessary to be out.

Occupational cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service.

In 2025, nearly 80% of International Association of Fire Fighters member line-of-duty deaths were due to occupational cancer.

Every January, in honor of Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month, we aim to raise public awareness of occupational cancer in the fire service and equip firefighters with the information and tools they need to reduce their risk.
