Cost of storm damage still not known.
The roof at Cuyahoga Falls Fire Department’s Station 1 is being repaired and repairs are about to begin for the water-damaged part of the building, including the kitchen, in the aftermath of a severe thunderstorm May 25.

Collver has been busy drumming up attention for the cause and asking around for donations, which residents can drop off at about 80 area fire stations. Those include Cuyahoga Falls, North Canton, Bath, Fairlawn, Kent and Stow. He’s taken photos at each of the donation sites and uploaded them to Facebook. Many feature the “honorary chair pet” Jake, a 12-year-old Black Lab/Collie mix that Collver’s fiancee rescued about 10 years ago. “You can see the reaction that we’re getting, especially now with the photos at…
