SHAUN D. PROBERT, age 45. Retired Lieutenant Shaun Probert passed away Saturday after a long battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Shaun retired from the Shaker Heights Fire Department in May of 2010 due to his illness. Beloved son of Evelyeen and the late Charles, dearest father of Becky, Jessie and Katie; loving fiancee of Debbie (nee McNellie); dear brother of Todd (Laura); uncle of Jonathon and Danielle; special friend of Debbie’s children Brooke, Spencer and Jensen. After retiring from the fire department, Shaun did not leave his commitment to serving people; instead, Shaun set out on a track to raise awareness for debilitating neuro-muscular diseases. Shaun worked closely with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and traveled speaking to individuals and firefighters about the importance of raising awareness to help find a cure for these diseases. His travels eventually took him in 2012 to the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) National Convention in Philadelphia. There he spoke to thousands of firefighters from around the nation. The International Association of Firefighters then named him the IAFF MDA National Spokesman. Shaun has touched many lives and many people throughout his life. Shaun will be dearly missed. Funeral service 11 am Thursday November 7 at the funeral home. Interment Acacia Park Cemetery. The family will receive friends at THE DiCICCO AND SONS FUNERAL HOME 5975 MAYFIELD RD. MAYFIELD HTS.,(at Lander Rd.) WEDNESDAY 2-4 AND 6-9 PM.

Cleveland Fire death announcement
I am deeply saddened by the horrific shooting and death of Cleveland Fire Lt. William Walker in Cleveland, Ohio. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by this senseless tragedy, especially his family and loved ones.
Will was a seasoned EMS instructor and was well liked by all of us in the Fire/EMS community…But most importantly, Will was a friend.
As local law enforcement agencies continue to respond to and investigate this tragic event, all emergency services in here in NE Ohio will provide any support necessary in the ongoing investigation.
For more details, Cleveland Police and Cleveland Fire will hold a presser in 30 minutes (11/04/13 at 1200 EST).

#Firefighter Roof Operations hands-on training in December?
Who’s excited for some Firefighter Roof Operations hands-on training in December?
Cutting holes in roofs the right way!
Can you handle it? Are you tough enough? Or are you just afraid of truck operations…
Standby for details…

Today at 10:17am, you should practice these 3 easy steps… #ShakeOut
After the most recent events that just occurred in the Philippines on Tuesday, I highly recommend that you participate in today’s Earthquake ShakeOut exercise.
“This isn’t California…Ohio doesn’t have earthquakes…”
WRONG McFly! The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) have recorded six earthquakes so far this year: three earthquakes in March and three earthquakes in July. Ohio had a total of four earthquakes in 2012.
Surprised? I know you are.
So on Thursday October 17, 2013 at 10:17am – practice your earthquake safety procedures with 9 other states in our region using these three easy steps:
1. DROPto the ground
2. Take COVERunder a sturdy table or desk, if possible, and protect your head and neck
3. HOLD ONuntil the shaking stops
Following these 3 easy steps will help protect and you during an earthquake.
ShakeOut is coordinated by the Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium and the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
See, even the cool kids are doing it.
Stay safe!

Wait, the Yarnell Fire Chief Jim Koile dumped a dead girl’s body in the desert in 1973? #firefighter
Wait, Yarnell Fire Chief Koile dumped a dead girl’s body in the desert in 1973? But yet, they still allowed him as Fire Chief?!?!?!?!?!
That’s really really bad.
