Pictured left to right are Dan Farah, John Shamley, Dan Rapp, Kory Kammer, and John Reiter who were sworn in as firefighters by Clerk Lori Lascoe at the Ray Township Board of Trustees meeting May 15. Each new member went through extensive training, attending fire school and getting college degrees to become firefighters, and in Shamley’s case, an EMT. “They spent over a year getting ready to be sworn in,” said Fire Chief Jim DiMaria. They were pinned by their loved ones. There are now a total of 29 firefighters in the Ray Township Fire Department. (Photo by Stacy Sobotka)
