Retired Cuyahoga Falls Fire Captain Finds New Post in Bath Township

Timothy Lombardi was sworn in as a firefighter and paramedic with the Bath Fire Department

Bath officials welcomed their newest firefighter Tuesday, a retired Cuyahoga Falls fire captain who wants to give back to his community. Timothy Lombardi took the oath of office as a part-time firefighter and paramedic. He's new to the Bath Fire Department, but not to its members. "Tim was my captain for a long time in the Falls," Fire Chief Walt Hower said. Lombardi, a 33-year firefighter and father of four, retired last year, giving him more time to devote to Bath Township.

"Tim's going to bring some experience in a lot of operations," Hower said.

Cuyahoga Falls VFW Fire Caused by Lit Cigarette

The damage to VFW Post 1062 is estimated at $380,000.

  Fire investigators have concluded that sparks from a lit cigarette, combined with Monday’s 30 mph winds, were the root causes of the blaze at the Falls VFW. No one knows who started the fire though, and as of now, the focus is centered on the clean-up effort, said David Zuk, the commander of VFW Post 1062.   Zuk has hired a general contractor to remove the debris and salvageable items, but doesn’t yet know whether to renovate or completely reconstruct the 120-year-old building. “Quite a bit of that building is fine,” said Cuyahoga Falls Fire Chief Paul Moledor. “I would be surprised if they would rip the whole building down, but that’s totally up to the insurance company and business owner.” Moledor said the total damage is estimated at…
