The Cumberland Trail Firefighter's Association was awarded a grant of $787.50 through the JB Green Team. This grant, a result of collaborative efforts between the CTFFA, Belmont County Emergency Management Agency, and Belmont County CARES, facilitated the purchase of 75 blankets crafted from recycled materials. These blankets will be stored at the EMA for deployment to shelters to keep residents warm during cold weather or distributed by CARES to Belmont County residents in need.

In honor of Emergency Medical Services Week (EMS) Week, we held our appreciation dinner last night. EMS Week was originally observed in November of 1974 by President Gerald Ford to assist public safety agencies in improving their EMS while highlighting the need. This week we give thanks to the men and women of CTFD and the care they render to the residents of St. Clairsville, Richland Township and surrounding communities in their time of need.

During the dinner, three employees were also recognized individually as Paramedic of the Year, William Morgan, Firefighter of the Year, Silas Tracy and Officer of the Year, Alex Gazdik. These awards were voted on by their coworkers. Thanks to Ohio Billing, Inc. for providing gifts to the honorees.

Happy EMS Week to all of our fellow emergency medical personnel.
