THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE SERVE!
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ROSS BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS, JEREMY SHAFFER, PH.D.
and your support would be much appreciated. Finally,
while we hope that we never need them, the Ross/
West View EMS offers top-notch and quick service to
many communities in the North Hills. They have helped
save numerous lives through their strong training and
dedication to excellence.
Happy 75th Anniversary to Berkeley Hills Volunteer
Fire Department
This year marks the 75th anniversary of one of the largest
and most active of our volunteer fire departments
– Berkeley Hills. Situated right above the Siebert/
McKnight intersection, the members are extremely
busy responding to commercial, residential, and traffic
accident calls throughout the active McKnight corridor.
Congratulations to Berkeley Hills and all its members -
past and present – for their 75 years of service!

oss Township is fortunate to have a great many
people who serve the community so selflessly.
From our military members and veterans to
hundreds of volunteer firefighters, we are truly blessed!
On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank all
of those who serve us in so many ways, especially those
who often remain unseen and unrecognized.
Ross Township Volunteer Fire Departments, Fire
Police, and EMS
Could you imagine if you called 911, and there was no
fire truck to dispatch? Fortunately, Ross Township has
eight amazing volunteer fire departments and a special
fire police service. These members give freely of their
time to help keep us all safe and answer the call for those
in the need. These volunteers are a wonderful asset,
and we owe them our gratitude for their service. Please
consider joining one of these organizations to help them
fulfill their mission. Also, remember that many of these
fire departments conduct various fundraising activities
to fund needed equipment and other essential expenses,

Many Lives Saved Through CPR/AED and First-Aid
Training
Did you know that CPR/AED and basic first-aid training
is offered on a regular basis at Berkeley Hills Fire
Department? I would like to give a big thank you to
Ralph Pagone who has led this effort at Berkeley Hills
and other locations for many years. He has trained over
60,000 people in these important life-saving skills –
including my own family! Think of all the lives that have
been saved through his committed efforts. Everyone
should take one of these classes – and many of them are
free. For more information look at www.station247.org
under the “Public Training” link.
Your Commissioners are here to serve you!
At times you may encounter issues in your
neighborhood or simply have a question/suggestion.
Please remember your Commissioners are here to serve
you. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me or
another Commissioner if you have concerns, questions,
or suggestions. It is my continuing hope that as a
community, we can work together to make Ross an even
better place for all our residents!
Best regards,
Jeremy Shaffer, Ph.D.
