Our commitment to safety extends to public safety. On Thursday, October 24 we hosted the Akron Fire Department as they conducted confined spaces training. Eighteen firefighters from Akron and surrounding areas participated. Local 330 secured a grant that funds the hands-on training. The Fire Department's Lt. Keener plans to bring another group to campus in the spring for a refresher course. ASW Safety Coordinator Karen Johnson was present to observe the training, which she said will help the firefighters “better serve in time of an actual emergency situation.”
