Six Lima firefighters have earned full rank after completing a year long probationary training program with the Lima Fire Department. The firefighters were recognized with helmet shields and badges during a ceremony as the department continues to maintain a staff of 75 firefighters.

Logan Shulte, an Ottoville High School graduate; Chris Wade, a graduate of Defiance College; and Tommy Spyker, a Shawnee High School alumnus, have all met the requirements to become full members of the Lima Fire Department.
