Maple Heights Fire Department

Throughout the month of May, the Maple Heights Fire Department will be conducting fire hydrant flushing throughout the city.

Each morning, we will post the specific streets scheduled for flushing that day so residents can be aware if work is taking place in their area.

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week — April 12–18, 2026

This week, the Maple Heights Fire Department recognizes and thanks the dedicated professionals at Chagrin Valley Dispatch who serve as the calm voice in the chaos.

Every emergency response begins with a call — and behind every call is a highly trained dispatcher working quickly to gather critical information, send help, and provide life-saving instructions to those in need.

From all of us at the Maple Heights Fire Department — we appreciate everything you do, today and every day.

The Maple Heights Fire Department extends our condolences on the passing of Retired Firefighter John Bokar, who passed away on March 21, 2026.

John served the Maple Heights Fire Department for over 25 years, retiring in 1995. We are grateful for his dedicated service to our community and the legacy he leaves behind within our department.

Rest easy, Brother. Your service will not be forgotten.
