FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS
Their duty was to serve. Our duty is to remember.
“We have received the names of more than 30 North Township first responders who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect all of us,” North Township Trustee Frank Mrvan said. “These individuals are remarkable heroes, who run into danger when logic would tell any one of us to run the other way.”

North Township first responders are looking for an outpouring of support from the community
