Maple Heights Firefighters Local 1184

Today, Fire Cadet Samuel Chrzan was officially sworn in to serve the residents of Maple Heights. Sam joins our department as a certified firefighter and paramedic, bringing two years of experience with the Burton Fire Department.

We wish him a long, safe, and healthy career serving the citizens of Maple Heights.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Mayor Annette Blackwell for administering the Oath of Office and for her continued support of the Maple Heights Fire Department.

Welcome to Maple Heights, Sam!

During the powerful storm that swept through Greater Cleveland on 03/31/2026, one of our own in the firefighting community suffered a devastating loss. A lightning strike caused a fire that destroyed Chuck’s home.
Chuck is a dedicated member of the Maple Heights Fire Department, someone who has spent his career protecting others during their worst moments. Now, he’s facing one of his own.
Maple Hts Local 1184 is coming together support Chuck and help him get back on his feet. Any donation—big or small—will make a meaningful difference as he begins to rebuild.
If you’re able, please consider contributing and sharing this to spread the word. Let’s show up for one of our own the same way he’s always shown up for his community.
Thank you for your support.
