Fire departments were honored during a fire prevention luncheon in Akron on Friday, Oct. 4.
Bolivar-based Ohio Billing Inc. held the first of a new traveling appreciation luncheon designed to salute those called to care. Several departments were represented at the Event Center in Akron.
The honorees of the event included Uniontown Fire Department, receiving the 2019 Community Recognition Award; Bazetta Township Fire Department, receiving the 2019 OBI Recognition Award; and Akron Children’s Hospital Aluminum Cans for Burned Children, receiving a monetary contribution from Ohio Billing Inc.
“We want to express our unwavering gratitude to those who often put their own lives at risk to keep us safe,” Ohio Billing Inc. CEO Terri Davis said. “This event is the least we can do to give back and say thank you.”
The Bazetta Township was chosen as the recipient of the OBI Recognition Award by a majority vote within the Ohio Billing Inc. team. Uniontown Fire Department was chosen as the recipient of the Community Recognition Award by a majority vote from the community.
Each year Ohio Billing Inc. will host the fire prevention luncheon in a different area of the state to meet fire personnel where they are.
