County roundup: Atwater firefighters train for grain bin rescue, plus news from Mogadore and Suffield

On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, voting will take place at Atwater Town Hall for Atwater residents. Town Hall is located at 1219 state Route 183. Issue No. 19 on the ballot is a local issue to renew 2.25 mills for the Atwater Fire Department.

Ohio State Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon brought his grain bin rescue teaching simulator trailer to the Atwater Fire Department on Oct. 18. Firefighters received training on how to perform a rescue for individuals who have become trapped in a grain bin. Two different rescues were performed by the firefighters during the training session. The Atwater Township Trustees thank Reardon and Deerfield Farms for providing this excellent training experience.
