The Scioto Township Fire Department
MDA Collection - As many people may know, member departments of the International Association of Firefighters Support Jerry's Kids and MDA. During the 2008 Commercial Point Grand Prix of Karting, Miss Katie Woods of St Louis, Missouri, was visiting her Grandmother and volunteered to walk around with a fire boot to collect money. This young lady collected almost $200 on her own for this worthy cause.
SCBA Purchase - The Scioto Township Board of Trustees is issuing this Invitation to Bid (ITB) to solicit quotes from qualified vendors for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. This purchase has been made available by a $100,000 Assistance to Firefighters grant received by the department this year. This will be used to replace outdated equipment used by the department's firefighters. Click here to view the Invitation to bid.
BLOOD DRIVE - March 22 is the next blood drive at the station. Contact the Red Cross to set an appointment or stop in and give the gift of life.
January 16&18, 2008 - The first phase is complete for water rescue training. On these two days, members of the Scioto Twp. Fire Department attended training held at the Circleville YMCA pool. Ice rescue and swift water rescue training will be held at a later date.
January 5, 2008 - This quarters blood drive brought in 18 units from 22 people who hoped to donate. We thank all those in our community who have come forward to help those in need.
December 30, 2007 - Garage Fire - At 1:59 AM, one unit was dispatched to 6880 Scioto Darby Road for a working garage fire. The detached garage was fully involved upon arrival. Harrison and Pleasant Twp. Fire Departments were call for assistance due to there not being any hydrants in the area and a water shuttle had to be set up. In addition to the garage, a 2002 Chevy Suburban, 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo, two pet dogs and a pot belly pig were lost.
December 20, 2007 - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has awarded the Scioto Twp. Fire Department with a Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program (CEDAP) grant. The department will be receiving the CEDAP Chemical Detection Kit costing approximately $55,000. The kit includes the Ahura First Defender and the MSA Sirius Multigas Detector. The Ahura First Defender is a rugged, handheld chemical identification device for in-the-field identification of toxic industrial chemicals, narcotics, contraband, chemical weapons, and white powders. The MSA Sirius Multigas Detector is able to simultaneously monitor for volatile organic compounds while measuring for combustible, toxic and oxygen deficient atmosphers within the unit.
December 11, 2007 - The Scioto Twp. Fire Department has just received a $95,000 Assistance to Firefighters grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The department must put up $5,000 matching funds for the grant which is designated for new self-contained breathing apparatus. A committee has been developed to look at various manufacturers and decide what should be purchased.
December 10, 2007 - The Scioto Twp. Fire Department assisted inmates of the Correction Receptions Center (CRC) in their donation of 16 bicycles and $500 in other toys to the Pickaway County Toys for Tots. Inmates were able to make these donations through CRC's 7th Step Foundation. Scioto Twp. Firefighters from One Unit accepted the toys and transported them to the local Toys for Tots office in Circleville.
December 9, 2007 The Scioto Twp Fire Department held its annual Christmas party. The children were visited by Santa and Mrs. Clause who passed out early Christmas presents. Pictures will be coming soon.
December 2007 The Scioto Twp Fire Department has placed an order for a new Sutphen fire engine. The engine is expected to be delivered in the summer of 2008 and will replace Engine 402 as our first line engine and rescue. Engine 402 is expected to become our reserve engine and old Engine 403 will be disposed of.
October 2007 The Scioto Twp. Fire Department has placed our new Medic 403 in service. This 2007 Horton unit will be place into rotation with our other two units. Every three weeks the medic units are rotated so that the mileage and usage is equal and prevent wearing out any one unit before it is scheduled to be replaced.
