The Northern Ohio FOOLS Chapter was established in 2004. It is our goal to bring together northern Ohio's most dedicated men and women of the fire service.
  Our mission is to HONOR brave Firefighters who currently serve and those who have gone before us.
  It is us who will uphold the rich heritage and TRADITIONs that have been passed on, and see that they never fail or are never forgotten.
  We HONOR and RESPECT not only the living, but those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice are never far from a FOOL's mind and heart. For it is from their sacrifice that we must learn and make the job safer so EVERYONE GOES HOME.
  Our mission will triumph due to the hard work of our members. A FOOL is earned, not given. We are all equals, no matter race, rank, gender, or any other label. A FOOL will ALWAYS stand for what is right, and BROTHERHOOD will prevail.
