FIRE CHIEF’S DESK
As the Fire Chief of Springfield Township Fire Department, it’s with great pride
that I present you this summary of activities for the year 2012. Our department
continues to accept the challenges presented by the economy, demands for
service, and ever changing technology. We constantly evaluate our operational
platform to ensure it provides efficient and effective services to the community
and make necessary changes when needed. The department also continues to collaborate regionally
with other fire departments on training, response and mutual aid.
Over the past several years, the roles of fire and EMS personnel have drastically been affected. More
than two hundred sixty five people have been killed in multiple death armed attacks since the Littleton,
Colorado Columbine High School shootings through the most recent armed attack at the Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
These events serve as a reminder that we always need to be vigilant and strive to be prepared for
anything that we may encounter. We have to continuously evaluate how we train, prepare and respond
to any request for assistance, if we are not prepared we may find ourselves the topic of a national
tragedy.
Thank you for the support and trust you have exhibited in our department over the past year. I also
would like to thank the Springfield Township Board of Trustees for their guidance and support, which
enables us to offer the level of service we provide. I would especially like to thank the devoted members
of the Springfield Township Fire Department for their commitment and professionalism in carrying out
their duties. I am both honored and blessed to serve with them as we serve you.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your fire chief. I have been richly blessed in many ways, including
the opportunity and abilities to serve in this capacity. I do not take my responsibilities lightly and
constantly strive to meet your expectations. It is truly an honor to serve you and I look forward to future
service.
As members of the fire service we now know that no-notice events such as Aurora, Colorado, Portland,
Oregon and Sandy Hook have and will occur anywhere, at any place, to anyone or demographic. There
is not one among us who hasn't been touched by the more recent events in Webster, New York where
firefighters became the target of a planned armed attack.
Respectfully,
Barry G. Cousino,
Fire Chief

ASSISTANT CHIEF’S DESK
As the Assistant Fire Chief of Springfield Township Fire Department, it’s with
great pride that I present you this summary of activities for the year 2012.
The trend of increased run volume year after year for our department has become
very common. Our department responded to a total of 2927 incidents, 16% of
them were fire incidents and 84% were delegated to EMS calls. In addition, we continue to see our
mutual aid incidents increase through auto-aid agreements with our neighboring departments. The
primary objective is to facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of emergency support prior to, during,
and after a call which ultimately increases firefighter safety at every incident.
In 2012, our Fire Department reported its first civilian fire fatality in over 20 years. Hidden Cedars
condominium complex suffered its fourth major building fire in 12 years with this latest fire tragically
claiming two lives. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family members who lost a loved one in this
senseless fire.
As we all know, Mother Nature has a way of challenging all of us and displayed her powerful storms this
year. This past July, our community experienced a powerful microburst windstorm that ripped through
the Lincoln Green area with 89mph winds creating wreaking havoc throughout much of the area. The
storm unfortunately claimed the life of a township resident when a tree fell upon his vehicle as he was
attempting to close his car windows. As devastating as the storm was, our community rallied behind
one another by showing tremendous support through the clean-up efforts, donations and providing
countless prayers.
As we move into 2013, Springfield Township Fire Department’s major challenge will not only be
defending against terrorism or influenza outbreaks, but how to defend against decreasing revenues to
the fire department’s budget. Our department has been making the necessary strategic changes for the
past seven years by reducing expenditures where needed with the upcoming year being our biggest
challenge yet. We will continue to serve the customer, run this business, manage our resources and
train our employees in order to provide the highest level of services.
To that end, through the efforts of all the members of our department, I wish to thank the residents of
Springfield Township and the Village of Holland for the opportunity to serve them, and extend my
sincere appreciation to Township officials for their continued support in our advancement of life safety
initiatives.
Respectfully,
Richard T. Helminski,
Assistant Chief

IAFF 3544 NEWS
Local IAFF 3544 was once again active with fundraising events, and charity donations. In June we had a
Chicken BBQ to help support the Man Cave and Northwest Ohio Street Machiners car show. We
provided chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, and brats. The food was a big success and we raised money to
help support our Harry Patton Scholarship fund. We have already been asked to come back in 2013 to
repeat this activity.
This year we gave out 3 scholarships of $500 each to area
graduating high school students. Once again we hit the streets to
help "Give Autism the Boot". We raised over $9000.00 for this
great organization and are proud to again be the second largest
contributor from NW Ohio.
Our 13th annual Golf Outing was held in July, and was again a great success. We had 13 teams from the
area. Our union members are very caring and supportive of our community. We had a donation drive at
Christmas time to raise money for families in need. This year, our union made a donation to a family to
assist in the purchase a wheel chair access van for their son. We look forward to another year of giving
as we start 2013.
Local 3544 held its second annual car show in July at Homecoming Park. On account of the weather,
our event attracted a small turnout. Although we hoped for a larger crowd, the weather was a major
factor and hope future events will be more successful.
Greg May,
President IAFF Local 3544

SUPPORT SERVICES
It’s hard to believe that 15 years have come and gone since the inception of the
Support Services Bureau for the Springfield Township Fire Department. In the
beginning, we were staffing two of the three fire stations part-time and had a fleet of
nineteen vehicles. One of the challenges faced was non-uniform vehicles; equipment
was found in many different locations, hindering cohesion of the department. Over the
years, we have been able to streamline equipment and make updates to create
consistency in equipment, placement of EMS supplies, and power or hand tools on replicated vehicles.
We now staff all three fire stations full-time with a fleet of 18 vehicles. As the fire service progresses, so
must the Support Services Bureau. This year we present you with a mission statement to declare our
present and future goals:
The Support Services Bureau mission is to provide and maintain the apparatus, equipment,
supplies, and facilities that the Springfield Township Fire Department needs to perform all
duties in the service to its citizens. There are three functional areas of the BureauMaintenance, Logistics, and Building Maintenance. The SSB supports the fire service
members in meeting their motto: “Our Family Protecting Yours.”
MAINTENANCE
NFPA requires testing of our equipment to ensure specified standards are met. With proper
maintenance, equipment remains in good working order and testing proceeds smoothly. The following
equipment was tested and passed inspection:
 44 SCBA packs and alarms








6 Fire Engine pumps
31 ground ladders
1 Ladder Truck
19,500’ of fire hose (3,900’ was removed from service)
Breathing Air Compressor
SCBA and Oxygen tanks (hydrostatically tested)
Fire extinguishers (from vehicles and buildings)
Turnout Gear
With the assistance of Firefighter Schill and his industrial sewing skills,
much of our equipment can be repaired in-house to contain repair and
replacement costs. Firefighter Schill repairs turnout gear, hose bed covers,
salvage tarps, hose straps, and netting to hold equipment in place.
6
APPARATUS
Support Services completed repairs on many of the vehicles. Completing repairs in-house provides
Springfield Township with the ability to save money on expensive mechanic bills. When vehicles must
be sent out for repairs, labor alone can easily cost $100 an hour. Some of the repairs handled in-house
include changing light bulbs, fixing wiring/electrical issues, and repairing leaky valves and pumps.
Battery replacement is never-ending for vehicle flashlights and SCBA’s. Fire equipment, by the nature
of the job, takes a lot of wear and tear. Preventative maintenance
and in-house vehicle inspection help keep the vehicles in service
longer. This year, a major overhaul on Engine 531’s fire pump was
completed in-house. This project took much determination and
dedication to complete the task. Also, in order to ensure the
vehicles are operated efficiently, I offered training to fire personnel
in Fire Pump Theory/Operation, Proper Equipment Usage, and the
Safe Use of Emergency Vehicles.
SUPPORT SERVICES
LOGISTICS
EMS S UPPLIES
With the assistance of Firefighter Livecchi, a system has been implemented to ensure the timely
ordering and disbursement of EMS supplies and pharmaceuticals. Basic EMS supplies and equipment
are inventoried and ordered weekly, with a standing stock available in the Support Services Building to
replaced items used on EMS incidents. ALS medications and supplies are ordered monthly after the
completion of the monthly drug inventory. This year, STFD, as well as the rest of the country, faced
several incidences of medication shortages. Alterations to the amount of medication kept in stock have
been variable as we have attempted to keep ahead of the shortage trends. Our Assistant Chief and
Medical Director have worked with the department to ensure no detriment to our citizens as we work
around the medication issues.
H OUSE S UPPLIES
Station supplies are necessary to provide a clean, healthy work environment and
to keep equipment clean. To ensure a more cost-effective approach, cleaning
supplies were converted to a dispensing system. Supplies are mixed and refilled
in the Support Services Building and delivered weekly to the stations to replaced
used supplies.
B UILDING M AINTENANCE
Two of Springfield Township Fire Department’s fire stations are over 50 years old; the third station is
almost 30 years old. Older buildings require a lot of maintenance and repair to be kept in safe, working
order. Most maintenance and repair are handled by Support Services. Roofs need regular maintenance.
Station 51 received roof coating. Station 53 required repair of several roof leaks. HVAC systems are
another constant maintenance item. This year all four buildings had their HVAC systems serviced.
Stations 51 and 53 received new air conditioning blower motors. To maintain a professional
appearance, Support Services replaced the carpet and painted the walls of four offices and the old
dispatch area. Also, the windows at station 53 were caulked.
F IRE /R ESCUE S UPPLIES
Calls for spills or leaks within the Township require certain types of supplies for containment and
mitigation. The majority of these supplies are housed on the Support Service’s vehicle, which responds
with necessary supplies such as speedy dry, spill containments, and extra SCBA bottles. On large-scale
incidents, the Support Services vehicle responds with rehabilitation supplies, such as water coolers,
chairs, fans, heaters, dry gloves, dry socks, and dry hoods to ensure the crew’s safety and health.
S UMMARY
As we move into 2013, Support Services will continue to improve equipment efficiently with the most
cost-effective options. We will continue to research grants to provide the Springfield Township Fire
Department with the resources it needs to be the best fire department for our community.
Michael Kokocinski,
Captain of Support Services

COMMUNICATIONS
The Springfield Township Fire Department’s Consolidated Dispatching Center is
located at the Lucas County Emergency Management building in downtown
Toledo. The center receives emergency calls, dispatches fire and EMS runs for
four separate entities, Springfield Township, the Village of Whitehouse, Monclova
Township and Spencer Township. This year marks the 2nd year for the
consolidated dispatching operations. The Consolidated Dispatching Center has
four full time and five part time dispatchers. The center is responsible for monitoring multiple fire
departments’ traffic and channels through the dispatch work station. Over 4617 times this year, calls
have dispatched and monitored multiple incidents at the same time. They record all fire and EMS
incidents on the dispatch log sheet, recording all fire and EMS benchmarks, priority information, and
enters the data electronically for each incident. They also enter all call information in Excel
spreadsheets and start fire and EMS reports in Firehouse.
Since 2010, our center dispatched an average of 11 calls for all districts daily. In 2012 the number of
dispatches for our dispatch center increased by over 2600 fire and EMS incidents. The graph below
shows an annual comparison from 2010 to present.

To help offset the costs of the Consolidated Dispatch Center; Springfield Township Fire Department
receives approximately $28 per incident dispatched from the other three entities. The Village of
Whitehouse, Monclova and Spencer Township Fire Departments’ had a total of 1690 incidents
managed by our dispatchers.
The new Computer Aided Dispatch System is in the final development and testing stages. Training for
the new system will begin in the first quarter of this year. This new county wide system will aid
dispatchers in sending the closest and most appropriate apparatus to an emergency incident.

The Smoke Showing Newsletter is published quarterly. This is a very useful tool to keep all members of
the fire service up to date on Support Services, Fire Prevention, health and safety as well as
administration.

Captain of Communications
OPERATIONS
I would like to begin my report by showing gratitude to our staff of firefighters for their
services throughout this year. Our firefighters have been instrumental in the ability to
manage 2927 incidents while bringing those incidents to closure in as safe a manner as possible. To allow
you to see how we manage and staff our department and how we are able to mitigate our incidents I have
put together our department operations and manpower status.
With our township size of 21.6 square miles and a population of 26,193 (2010 census). We have three
stations, two of which are located north of a major east west railway, and the third south of the railway. This
railway basically divides the township through the center with no over or underpasses to clear the railway.
Future plans of an underpass will eliminate the delay of emergency crews stopped by tracks and trains.
Our stations were numbered as Station 1, 2, 3 consecutively. Due to a new renumbering system in the
county we have renumbered our stations as 51, 52, 53, and 54. At the present time, the building known as
Support Services reflects station 54 for repairs and apparatus storage needs. Apparatus positioning in the
three stations are as follows.
Station 51 Apparatus as follows;
Engine 51, Medic 51, Brush 51, Extra Engine 51-2, Rescue Boat 51, Safety Trailer.
Engine 52, Tower ladder 52, Medic 52, safety 52, County Life Squad 10
Engine 53, Medic 53, Extra Medic 53-2
Shop 54 Apparatus;
Extra Engine 54, Extra medic 54, New addition ATV 54, County Disaster Trailer
The year of 2012 continued the trend of increased calls and challenges. Some of our large scale incidents
included a major apartment building fire in March that destroyed the entire building and consumed the lives
of two civilians. In July we experienced a major weather related incident, which affected our northeast
section of the township with one civilian casualty. A couple of semi truck incidents that were somewhat
challenging, one on the 80/90 Turnpike which involved a car hauler loaded with cars that crashed and
burned. Another included a semi loaded with perishables that went off Interstate US 23 and ended in a
waterway in the backyards of a neighborhood.
Of course none of the stations or apparatus above would be of any use without the trained and dedicated
firefighters to man them. Our staffing of firefighters has qualification of FFI, FFII, EMT-Basic, and EMT –
Paramedic.
These firefighters continually train from within our department to maintain our required CE’s. Many are
taking state and college classes to keep up with the constantly changing industry. Along with that we have a
local college that has many of our firefighters teaching classes or proctoring the students in fire and EMS
related fields. Our department has signed an agreement with this college that allows students to ride with us
so they may be able to get the required field experience to meet their class competencies.
Sincerely,
Blair Wise,
Captain of Operations

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Springfield Township Fire Department is committed to the safety for all
the residents and members of the township and village. Community
Outreach programs in coordination with the Fire Prevention Bureau provide a
number of services promoting health, safety, and fire prevention. These
programs are brought directly to the citizens by the same firefighters that
serve in our community. Community Outreach programs improve our public
trust and gives us a chance to know their neighbors better.
When a medical emergency situation occurs, every second counts. Four to six minutes remains the
window of opportunity for someone to begin CPR for a cardiac arrest patient. Knowing how to react
quickly and correctly can mean the different between life and death. The Springfield Township Fire
Department encourages everyone to learn first aid and CPR.
Teaching CPR in schools continues to be a top priority and goal for the outreach efforts. Agendas and
curriculums have been designed based on the audience for the schools who want to train their students,
teachers, and staff in CPR, AED and first aid training. Depending on the specifications or the needs of
the schools CPR can be offered either as a course completion with certification or basic CPR instruction.
This year 160 students were trained in CPR, AED and first aid.
In addition to the students, 420 other participants were trained in life saving skills. Over ten businesses
within our district were also in attendance for training. By providing programs such as these helps
increase survival rates by training people to respond quickly.
Being able to provide such invaluable training to the men and women of Springfield Township and the
Village Holland, continues to represent commitment from the Springfield Township Fire Department to
the community we serve.
I would like to personally like all the firefighters who assisted in the instruction and hands on courses we
provided. I look forward to teaching more classes in the year to come.
Captain Heidi Hess
Outreach Coordinator

TRAINING
The Springfield Township Fire Department’s Training Bureau has been very
active working on accomplishing goals of its mission. This includes providing real
time training on incidents that occur infrequently and have higher than normal
stress levels, allowing the firefighters to work through potential problems in a
controlled setting and better preparing first responders when an actual incident
occurs.
With area fire department like Sylvania and Monclova Township entering into more mutual aid
responses the job of RIT is normally assigned to a outside fire department and this training is essential
for the smooth operation of any fire scene, it provides the fire crews with some measure of security
knowing that if something happens a well-trained intervention crew can come to their aid in time of an
emergency.
Also the fire department had the opportunity through a donated commercial transit bus to
complete EMS scenario such as back boarding and using other methods to remove an injured
or sick patients from something a little bigger than a passenger vehicle and then finished up
with using the Jaws of Life and other rescue tools to cut the bus apart.
Training was conducted with the life guards at the YMCA, Firefighter
Schill using his former career as a US Coast guard swimmer, worked with the
staff and provided training of the response methods of a drowned victim. The
lifeguards had a chance to start a rescue and have the first responders observe
their procedures and then step in and complete the recovery effort. This
opportunity provided both our staff and the lifeguards the chance to see a
rescue from the other’s perspective and work towards a team concept for the
betterment of the patient.
Through the support of local businesses like Art Van Furniture, the department had the chance to
opportunity to use the building for some hands on training. Firefighters utilized sledge hammers and
axes to breach the concrete and plaster walls; a technique used by firefighters to complete a self-rescue
or a trapped firefighter. Firefighter Romstadt completed several weeks of teaching Rapid Intervention
Team (RIT) techniques used to assist downed firefighters and the skills to remove themselves from
dangerous situation. Real time, hands-on scenarios are another excellent way to achieve the goals of
applying knowledge with skills to achieve the training goals.
Even with all of these unique opportunities the department still has to continue to refresh on the parts
of this job that happen more frequently such as ladders, self-contained breathing apparatus, ropes and
pump operations and also update crews on continuing education for Emergency Medical Service calls of
which this department provides treatment and transport to the community.
Springfield Township continues to provide cutting edge treatment to residents and those who work or
travelling through the township by providing paramedic level responses to all calls along with the
additional resource of the Lucas County Life Squad 10.

Captain of Training

FIRE PREVENTION
P UBLIC R ELATIONS
Public education through fire prevention awareness is one of the most important
responsibilities of the Fire Prevention Bureau. Through an extensive library of
videos, films and programs, fire department personnel continually deliver fire
and life-safety education to children and adults throughout the community's
schools, day care centers, senior living facilities and businesses.
The busiest time of year for the Fire Prevention Bureau is during Fire Prevention Week. Each year
during the month of October, the Fire Prevention Bureau teamed up with the duty crews to visit local
schools and day care facilities to teach children fire and home safety. Organizations and local families
are always welcome to take a tour of any of the three fire stations at any time throughout the year. This
year approximately 700 pre-school, kindergarten and first grade students were taught various fire
safety topics.
This year’s Safety Town program graduated over 150 students. Children entering
kindergarten in the fall learned topics such as water safety, bike safety, animal safety,
poisons, dental care, and fire/EMS safety. Speakers volunteer their time to teach these
topics to the students. The children also do crafts on the various daily safety topics.
They learn songs which they perform at the graduation ceremony at the end of the
program for family and friends.
Using our new electronic fire extinguisher system over 400 employees from nursing homes,
warehouses, schools and manufacturer facilities learned the various types of fires, extinguishers and
the proper techniques when using a fire extinguisher. The electronic system allows participants to
extinguish a fire without actually using a live fire. The system can time each participant as to how long
it took to extinguish the electronic fire.
As part of the fire prevention outreach program, assistance was provided to six businesses and two
schools in updating their emergency evacuation plans.
For additional information or to schedule a fire department's public education program, please contact
Captain Bennett of the Fire Prevention Bureau.

Captain of Fire Prevention
INSPECTION BUREAU
The Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for the annual inspections of all commercial properties, multifamily buildings, schools, churches, daycare centers and nursing homes located within Springfield
Township and the Village of Holland. The Bureau adheres to the 2011 Ohio Fire Code for code
enforcement.
A well planned and executed fire prevention and inspection program is the most effective way to
accomplish the goal of preventing unnecessary fire loses. Through inspections the inspector can make
recommendations and subsequently controlling and eliminating hazardous conditions. This will make
major strides towards accomplishing this goal before a fire occurs.
These annual inspections are conducted by Captain Bennett of the Fire Prevention Bureau. Captain
Bennett is trained to the Office of the State Fire Marshal standards, and is a valuable resource to
business owners and employees to help enhance their occupancy's fire safety practices.

NEW CONSTRUCTION
The Fire Prevention Bureau in conjunction with the local Building Departments reviews and verifies
code compliance through the Ohio Basic Building Code and the Ohio Fire Code thru site plan reviews on
all new construction or re-modeling projects. These site plan reviews provides the local fire official with
the authority to enforce the set building and remodeling standards established in both codes, as well as
implementing and requiring additional items such as the installation of access boxes (Knox Boxes). A
Knox Box allows our personnel to gain entry to the structure using a key provided and placed into the
Knox Box. This allows timely entry without the destruction of entrance ways in the event of a fire or
rescue alarm. The following plans were reviewed in 2012.

INVESTIGATION BUREAU
One way we can reduce fire loss, fire injuries and fire deaths is through an aggressive fire prevention
and investigation programs. Education to the residents on how to spot potential fire hazards in their
homes is the first way to prevent potential accidental fires.
Another important aspect to accomplish this is through cause and origin investigations. Determining
where and how a fire started can help us prevent another possible accidental fire from occurring again
the same way. Unfortunately, intentional set fires do occur occasionally. Using cause and origin
investigations at every fire can determine an intentional set fire from an accidental fire.
