The Northern Ohio FOOLS Chapter was established in May 2004. It is our goal to bring together the areas most dedicated men and women of the fire service. 
 Our mission is  to HONOR the brave men and women 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. 
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 this 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 equal, no matter the race, rank, gender, or any other label. A FOOL will ALWAYS stand for what is right, and BROTHERHOOD will prevail.
