🚨 SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES! 🚨

🔥 Did you know that roughly 3 out of 5 home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms?

A working smoke detector can give you and your family precious time to escape when seconds matter.

🏠 Protect your home and loved ones:

* ✅ Test your smoke alarms monthly.
* ✅ Install alarms inside every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home.
* ✅ Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.
* ✅ Practice your family’s fire escape plan.

🚒 YOUR Central Joint Professional Firefighters remind you: Fire safety starts at home!

Take a few seconds today to check your smoke detectors. Those few seconds could save a life.

🚒 BELOW MINIMUM STAFFING. AGAIN!!

Days like today shouldn’t happen. When staffing is stretched thin, it can put both our community and the firefighters serving it at risk.

Our District has operated lean for many years and being great stewards of the tax payers dollars with no levy increase since 2010. Without secure funding to support staffing, days like this is starting to become more common.

Help keep Batavia safe. Vote YES on the levy November 3!

🚒 A STEP TOWARD STABILITY FOR BATAVIA’S FIRE & EMS SERVICES! 🚑

This past Tuesday, the Batavia Township Board of Trustees considered Resolution 10-08-2026, addressing the retention of all current Central Joint Fire-EMS District employees should the proposed transition to a township-based Fire & EMS department move forward.

During public comment, YOUR Central Joint Professional Firefighters stood in support of this resolution, emphasizing the importance of stability for our community, our firefighter/paramedics, and the future of emergency services in both Batavia Township and the Village of Batavia.

We are pleased to share that the Batavia Township Trustees voted UNANIMOUSLY in favor of the resolution!

Should the proposed initiative pass this November, the resolution establishes a commitment to retaining current District employees as Fire & EMS services transition to the Township.

For YOUR firefighters and paramedics, this represents an important step toward employment stability and continuity of service for the residents who depend on us every day.

YOUR Central Joint Professional Firefighters would like to thank the Batavia Township Board of Trustees for recognizing the importance of retaining the experienced personnel who currently serve our communities.

Our commitment has always been to provide professional, reliable Fire & EMS services to the residents of Batavia Township and the Village of Batavia. Regardless of the challenges ahead, that commitment remains unchanged.

🏘️ Stability for our Community.

👨‍🚒 Stability for YOUR Firefighters and Paramedics.

🚑 Stability for the Future of Fire & EMS Services.

🚨🚒 DON’T BE FOOLED, BATAVIA! 🚒🚨

THESE SIGNS ARE NOT ENDORSED BY YOUR CENTRAL JOINT PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS!

We want to make one thing CRYSTAL CLEAR:

👨‍🚒 YOUR Central Joint Professional Firefighters FULLY ENDORSE and SUPPORT the Batavia Township Fire-EMS Levy!

Despite what these signs may suggest, they DO NOT represent the position of the firefighters and paramedics who serve YOUR community every single day.

In fact, YOUR Central Joint Professional Firefighters aren’t just supporting this levy, WE ARE ACTIVELY LEADING THE EFFORT TO GET IT PASSED!

Why? Because we believe in STABILITY.

🚒 Stability for YOUR Fire & EMS services.

🚑 Stability for YOUR firefighters and paramedics.

🏘️ Stability for OUR community and its future.

We respect everyone’s right to express their opinion, but we will not allow confusion about where YOUR firefighters stand.

We stand behind this levy. We stand behind our community. And we stand behind the future of Fire & EMS services in Batavia.

On February 22, 2026 around 2024hrs, Brothers Jetter, Hartness, Heizer, and Ferrell demonstrated exactly why we train the way we do when they responded to reports of an MVA/vehicle into the river.

Upon arrival, crews were faced with a rapidly evolving situation where time was critical. Working quickly and efficiently, crews moved into position, coordinated their efforts, and were able to safely remove the occupant from with the assistance of your Clermont County Sherrifs Deputies, and your Clermont County Communications Center 911 Dispatcher (Davidson)!

Incidents like this are exactly why firefighters train the way we do. Water-related vehicle incidents can turn deadly in minutes, and the ability to operate calmly, communicate effectively, and rely on practiced skills makes all the difference.

Thanks to the ongoing training, teamwork, and professionalism of your firefighters, this rescue was carried out safely and efficiently, resulting in a positive outcome for everyone involved, and making a difference in our Community and living up to our motto “Proud to be of Service.” Check out the story Good Morning America put together.

Have you all heard of the amazing organization Sleep in Heavenly Peace? If not, now you do! This past week, your Central Joint Professional Firefighters had the opportunity to partner with the Clermont County Chapter of SHP right here in Batavia Township to help make a difference in our community and give the gift of excitement and a good nights rest.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace works to ensure that no child sleeps on the floor by providing beds to families in need, and we were proud to lend a hand to such an incredible mission. It is always an honor to serve alongside organizations that share our commitment to helping others.
