Middleton Township will hold its annual Community Safety Day on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Representatives and equipment from numerous emergency response, utility and associated organizations will be on hand at the township complex north of Bowling Green.
The event, planned to be an entertaining and informative day for the entire family, will include landings by a Promedica air ambulance and Mercy Health Life Flight helicopter, a high-voltage demonstration by FirstEnergy, extrication demonstrations by Middleton Township Fire and EMS Departments, as well as many hands-on activities for children.
“Community Safety Day is a fun and educational opportunity for everyone, providing area residents of all ages a chance to meet local first-line responders and experience the high-tech vehicles, gear and techniques employed to protect lives and property firsthand,” said Mike Moulton, Middleton Township trustee.
In addition to Promedica, Mercy Health, First Energy and township departments, other scheduled participants include the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Wood County organizations including the Emergency Management Agency, Sheriff’s Office, Solid Waste Management District and Park District, Northwestern Water & Sewer District, the Haskins Police Department, Waterville Gas, Suburban Natural Gas and Shipley Auto & Towing.
