Did you know the CFF was a major fund supporter of Fire Boat 3? Donations to the foundation help us keep life-saving equipment like this available to our first responders.

What an incredible evening! We were honored to be part of a special event at New Riff Distilling featuring Cincinnati Reds All-Star pitcher and bourbon enthusiast Andrew Abbott.

Guests enjoyed an engaging conversation between Andrew and New Riff Master Distiller Brian Sprance as they discussed bourbon, baseball, and the story behind Andrew's hand-selected 4 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon, along with some exceptional featured pours.

We are especially grateful to New Riff, Andrew Abbott, and everyone who attended and purchased a bottle. $10 from each bottle of Andrew's Single Barrel selection benefited the Cincinnati Fire Foundation, helping us continue our mission of supporting Cincinnati firefighters, their families, and our community.

Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable evening possible. Your support truly makes a difference, and we are proud to have been part of such a memorable event.

We extend our deepest condolences to Firefighter Ryan Zwick's family, friends, and fellow Cincinnati Fire Department brothers and sisters as we remember a true public servant and hero.

It is with profound sadness that the Cincinnati Fire Department announces the line of duty death of Firefighter Ryan Zwick, who passed away on June 11, 2026, following a duty-related medical illness. He was 43 years old.

Firefighter Zwick joined the Cincinnati Fire Department on May 25, 2014, and served with dedication for more than twelve years. He spent the majority of his career at Station 35 in Westwood, one of the busiest response areas in our city, where he served on the Medic Unit, the Engine, and ultimately the Truck — answering the call in every capacity asked of him.

He gave this city everything he had, every shift, without hesitation.

Our thoughts are with his family, and with all those who lived life beside him.

Firefighter Zwick will be remembered and honored as a member of this department who died in the line of duty. We do not take that lightly, and we will not forget.

Rest easy, Ryan.
