The Chagrin Falls Suburban Volunteer Fire Department has changed its name to the Chagrin Valley Fire Department to more accurately reflect the broader area it serves.
The name change is effective Thursday (Feb. 13). The new name and a new logo will soon appear on the department’s vehicles and attire.
In addition, the department’s leadership and supporters are continuing a capital campaign to raise $1 million to modernize the firehouse at 21 W. Washington St. More than $350,000 has been raised so far. The fire department has been providing fire and emergency medical services for six communities in the Chagrin Valley since 1897, according to Fire Chief Frank Zugan, a third-generation Chagrin Falls firefighter.
Those communities are Bentleyville, Chagrin Falls, Chagrin Falls Township, Hunting Valley, Moreland Hills and South Russell.
