Due to a chance for rain on Thursday and several resident requests to use our backup date, the City of New Albany has made the decision to move Trick or Treat to Sunday, October 31 from 4-6 p.m. While the weather forecast could change between now and Sunday, moving the event to Halloween appears to be the better option at this point. Sunday's event will take place rain or shine. For additional information and safety tips, head to NewAlbanyOhio.org/halloween. ... See MoreSee Less
Congratulations, Chief Brown! Thank you for your many years of service to the New Albany community!We would like to congratulate Battalion Chief Joe Brown on his retirement from the Plain Township Fire Department. Today is Chief Brown’s last day of work, and he will retire next week on Monday November 1st with over 33 years in the fire service. He began his journey back in February of 1988 when he signed up as a volunteer firefighter with the Plain Township Fire Department during his senior year at New Albany High School. After volunteering for 3 years, he was hired as one of the first two fulltime firefighters at Plain Township in June of 1991 working a 40-hr. schedule. When Plain Township transitioned to an all-paid force in the late fall of 1992, Joe was assigned to 2 Unit as a Shift Commander and has remained on 2 Unit his entire career. He has always had a passion for EMS and has served as the EMS Coordinator for most of that time. Throughout his 33+ years at Plain Township he was promoted through the ranks of Lieutenant in 1995, Captain in August of 2005, and Battalion Chief in April of 2013. He was a graduate of the Ohio Fire Chiefs OFE Class 3 in June of 2005, earned an Associate of Technical Studies degree in EMS & Fire Science from Columbus State Community College in 2009, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Safety Management from Franklin University in 2015. Chief Brown is also an Adjunct Faculty member at Columbus State Community College where he is an instructor for their EMT and Paramedic programs and teaches the Fire Officer 1 class. Chief Brown’s professionalism and leadership will be missed dearly as he has mentored so many of us through the years. Enjoy your retirement and next adventure. ... See MoreSee Less
