South Strabane Township held a Community Open House on Thursday with a focus on introducing their new fire chief to residents. The event held at the Oak Springs Road fire station welcomed Chief Jordan Cramer. Cramer was hired April 14 and has been busy with his new duties as chief. Cramer stated that he has been working with volunteer and career staff on communication and training techniques. Cramer is a trainer with the International Association of Fire Chiefs who teaches courses on how combination fire crews can get along and succeed. He is working on getting his whole staff advanced training so that everyone is equally trained. Cramer states that community involvement is important to him. He is looking forward to meeting residents of South Strabane. One of the ways that he hopes to do that is to offer classes. He is really looking forward to offering monthly CPR classes, stop the bleed classes and fire prevention programs. Cramer is also the Emergency Management Coordinator. He said that he always is interested in trying to build the ranks of his staff. If anyone is interested in being a fire fighter or emergency technician, reach out to him.
