Urbana fire division needs your help

The Urbana Fire Division needs your help. They are currently working on a plan of a tiered reserve group to be activated if our current resources become depleted. Chief Ortlieb has asked the City Administration to consider Civil Service Rule 149.15 (e), which would allow in times of an extreme emergency to employ one or more qualified persons for a period not to exceed fifteen days. 

​The City has given permission to explore the option as everyone works through the feasibility of such a plan. If you are State of Ohio certified in EMS or Fire and meet one of the tiered positions below, we need your help. Email Chief Dean Ortlieb at Dean.Ortlieb@ci.urbana.oh.us with your contact information and you will be placed on a list. Those that are in the reserve group will be kept in the loop as we work through details and continue to develop our contingency plans.
