A decline in volunteer firefighters across Ohio is raising concerns about emergency response capabilities, particularly in the state’s rural communities. With roughly 70% of Ohio fire departments relying on volunteers, officials caution that the shortage could lead to fewer trained personnel during critical situations.

Read in Somali ↓

The issue is especially evident in Athens County, Ohio, where only two fire departments employ full-time firefighters. The remainder of the county depends entirely on volunteer crews. Athens County Emergency Management Agency Director Teresa Fouts-Imler stated that the region had double its current number of volunteer firefighters during major flooding in 1998. Today, local departments must frequently rely on assistance from neighboring counties, which can lead to longer response times.

Fouts-Imler noted that having active volunteers is essential for successful emergency response, emphasizing the need for personnel who can respond when severe disasters strike local communities.

To address the statewide shortfall, the State Fire Marshal’s office has introduced several initiatives aimed at recruitment and retention. The agency has distributed grant funding to volunteer fire departments, provided free training, and established an online recruitment portal to connect interested individuals with local fire departments.

State Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon highlighted that funding and recruitment remain the two main challenges facing emergency services. In the year since the state’s recruitment portal was launched, nearly 2,000 people have submitted inquiries, resulting in 130 commitments to volunteer. Reardon described the initial response as an encouraging first step toward rebuilding volunteer levels across Ohio.

Yaraanta Dab-demiyeyaasha Ohio oo Halis ku ah Jawaab-celinta Miyiga

Hoos u dhaca ku yimid tirada dab-demiyeyaasha mutaddawiciinta ah ee gobolka Ohio ayaa dhaliyay walaac xooggan oo ku saabsan awoodda lagaga jawaabo xaaladaha degdegga ah, gaar ahaan deegaannada miyiga ah. Qiyaastii 70% waaxaha dab-demiska ee gobolka Ohio ayaa ku tiirsan dadka iskood u shaqeeya ee mutaddawiciinta ah.

Dhibaatadan ayaa si awoodeed uga muuqata deegaanka Athens County, halkaas oo ay ku yaallaan oo kaliya laba waaxood oo dab-demis ah oo leh shaqaale waqti buuxa shaqeeya. Qeybaha kale ee gobolkaas ayaa gebi ahaanba ku tiirsan mutaddawiciin.

Agaasimaha Wakaaladda Maareynta Xaaladaha Degdegga ah ee Athens County, Teresa Fouts-Imler, ayaa sheegtay in intii lagu jiray daadadkii waaweynaa ee dhacay sannadkii 1998-kii, ay lahaayeen tirada mutaddawiciinta hadda jirta oo laba jeer ka badan. Hadda, waaxuhu waxay inta badan kaalmo ka raadsadaan deegaannada dariska ah, taas oo keeni karta inay dib u dhacdo waqtiga looga jawaabo xaaladaha degdegga ah.

Fouts-Imler ayaa sheegtay in helitaanka mutaddawiciin ay tahay mid muhiim u ah guusha jawaab-celinta xaaladaha degdegga ah. Waxay xustay in masiibooyinka ka dhacay deegaanka dariska ah ee Perry County ay muujinayaan halista ka dhalan karta haddii daadad noocaas oo kale ah ay ku dhataan Athens County.

Si wax looga qabto dhibaatadan ballaaran, Xafiiska Taliyaha Dab-demiska Gobolka Ohio ayaa bilaabay dadaallo dhowr ah oo lagu qorayo dibna loogu soo kabsanayo mutaddawiciinta. Dadaalladaas waxaa ka mid ah bixinta deeqo dhaqaale oo lagu taageerayo waaxaha mutaddawiciinta, tababarro bilaash ah, iyo abuuritaanka madal internetka ah oo isku xaysa dadka danaynaya iyo waaxaha dab-demiska ee ugu dhow.

Taliyaha Dab-demiska Gobolka, Kevin Reardon, ayaa sheegay in maaliyad-siinta iyo qorista shaqaaluhu ay yihiin labada dhibrood ee ugu waaweyn. Sannadkii u dambeeyay tan iyo markii madasha internetka la furay, ku dhawaad 2,000 oo qof ayaa soo xiriiray, halka 130 oo ka mid ah ay si buuxda u aqbaleen inay noqdaan mutaddawiciin. Reardon ayaa tilmaamay in kasta oo arrintan aynaan hal habeen ku xallin doonin dhammaan dhibaatada, ay tahay tallaabo hore oo dhiirrigelin leh.

A federal agreement to import 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free beef over 90 days has prompted strong reactions from livestock producers in Central Ohio, where local farmers report a surge in direct sales fueled by consumer questions about foreign meat supplies.

Read in Somali ↓

The administration of President Donald Trump introduced the temporary import program to help lower grocery costs for consumers while giving domestic cattle producers time to rebuild their herds. However, federal officials have not disclosed the specific country of origin for the incoming shipments.

In Circleville, Ohio, local agricultural businesses say community skepticism regarding imported meat is steering more residents toward regional producers. Aaron Singerman, owner of Ripple Run Farms, said his business experienced an immediate boost in sales following the federal announcement.

“We just got three cows back from the butcher last Monday, and we’re just about sold out already,” Singerman said, noting that the primary concern among local buyers revolves around where the imported product is sourced.

The national cattle inventory is currently at a 75-year low due to prolonged droughts and escalating operational expenses, according to figures from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These conditions have squeezed livestock supplies nationwide and elevated costs for farmers trying to meet consumer demand.

Singerman voiced concern that importing beef will not resolve long-term affordability issues for American families, arguing that the federal government should invest directly in helping domestic producers rebuild their herds instead of directing funds overseas.

He warned that the temporary influx of duty-free beef could create a false expectation of cheap prices, adding that once the temporary supply leaves the market, prices could rise again, leaving consumers struggling to afford meat.

Go’aanka Trump ee Hilibka Bilaashka Canshuurta oo Walaac ku Dhaliyay Ohio

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio – Heshiis ay xukuumadda Madaxweyne Donald Trump ku shaacisay in dalka Mareykanka lagu soo dhoofin doono 300,000 oo metric ton oo hilib lo’aad ah oo aan lahayn canshuuraha kastamka muddo 90 maalmood ah ayaa dhaliyay jawaabo kala duwan oo ka yimid beeralayda xoolaha dhaqda ee gobolka Ohio.

Talaabadan oo looga golleeyahay in lagu dhimo qiimaha hilibka ee dukaamada xilliga ay beeralayda dalku dib u dhisayaan xoolahooda ayaa waxaa ka dhashay su’aalo ku saabsan halka uu hilibkaas ka imaanayo, maadaama xukuumadu aysan shaacin dalka rasmiga ah ee lagu soo saaray. Tani waxay keentay in macaamiil badan oo ku nool magaalada Circleville iyo deegaannada ku dhow dhow ay u jeedsadaan iibsashada hilibka laga soo saaro beeraha maxalliga ah.

Aaron Singerman, oo ah milkiilaha beerta Ripple Run Farms ee magaalada Circleville, ayaa sheegay in ganacsigiisa uu kor u kici ka dib markii macaamiil badan ay muujiyeen shaki ku saabsan hilibka dibadda ka imaanaya. Singerman ayaa xusay in cabsida ugu weyn ee dadka haysa ay tahay inaan la ogeyn halka hilibka dibadda lagu soo saaray, wuxuuna intaas ku daray in Isniintii la soo dhaafay oo kaliya ay guchii ka soo celiyeen saddex lo’ ah oo la qalay, hilibkiina uu ku dhow yahay inuu dhammaado.

Sida lagu sheegay warbixinnada ka soo baxay Waaxda Beeraha ee Mareykanka (USDA), tirada xoolaha lo’da ah ee dalka Mareykanka ayaa maraysa heerkii ugu hooseeyay muddo 75 sano ah. Tani ayaa ka dhalatay abaaraha baahsan iyo kor u kaca ku yimid kharashaadka ku baxa xannaanaynta xoolaha, taas oo ku qasbtay beeralayda inay kordhiyaan qiimaha hilibka.

Madaxweyne Trump ayaa sheegay in heshiiskan 90-ka maalmood ah uu beeralayda siinayo waqti ay dib ugu dhisataan xoolahooda. Hase yeeshee, Singerman ayaa ka soo horjeestay aragtidaas, isagoo ku baaqay in dowladda Mareykanka ay lacagta ku bixiso taageerida beeralayda dalka halkii lacago lagu bixin lahaa waddamada dibadda.

Ugu dambeyntii, Singerman wuxuu ka hoos xariiqay in hilibka jaban ee suuqyada lagu soo daadsho uu bulshada siin dooni rajo falas ah oo ku saabsan qiimaha hilibka. Wuxuu sheegay in marka uu idlaado muddada heshiiska oo hilibkaas uu suuqa ka baxo, qiimuhu uu dib u kici doono, taas oo macaamiisha ku qasbi doonta inay xaalad cusub oo dhib badan kala kulmaan iibsashada hilibka.

Shoppers in Columbus, Ohio, will soon be able to purchase Homage-branded apparel at area thrift locations through a new retail partnership.

Read in Somali ↓

Beginning Friday at 9 a.m., all Goodwill Columbus stores will offer apparel from the Ohio-based clothing brand. The merchandise primarily includes customer returns and aged inventory stemming from a consolidation of Homage’s stock after a recent warehouse relocation. The arrival of the items coincides with the start of the football season, giving local consumers access to sports gear.

Homage Chief Executive Officer Ryan Vesler explained that the brand’s growth strategy has shifted toward online retail, licensing partnerships, team stores, and wholesale accounts. As part of this transition, Homage closed its physical store in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, in March. Vesler said providing these items to Goodwill Columbus allows the company to put its apparel directly into the hands of local residents.

Goodwill Columbus President and Chief Executive Officer Ryan Burgess highlighted the community value of the effort.

“Together, we’re giving shoppers access to an amazing brand and an easy way to support their community,” Burgess said.
