"DOWNTOWN PAINESVILLE FIRE"
The Dorthy Allen building sustained heavy fire fire damage today around 4:00pm.
Some of you will remember this building as the former Sears & Roebuck building downtown.
The building housed "Flavors on the Square" The Painesville area Senior Center along with Lake County Republican Headquarters. I believed it was also used as the area food bank.
I have been told the building is salvageable.

And who, of any knowledgable, status, told you that?
Another sad story for us.
Maybe someone will tell us why Painesville Township had tosend their AERIAL fire truck?
Seem's the city's has been MIA for at least two months. Wonder if it would have made a difference?
RPCFD...an engine (2313), a squad (2322), and the aerial (2323) were all first on scene for this event.
Township Fire sent their aerial from Bowhall Road as part of the signed auto-aid agreement, arriving only a few minutes after all PCFD units were on scene.
The PCFD aerial has responded to several calls over the past month.
Good job by all public servants involved today.
Maybe the reason RPCFD was confused was because the aerial truck in front of the building had Painesville TWP. on its ladder.
I believe aerial was out of service for about a month. Seems like another good reason for regionalzation. Its show that for the good of all communities the departments put responding to the fire first.
I am getting alittle concerned about the rash of fires in town lately, I hope its just that I'm noticing it more.
I echo hot sause "good job by all involved".
DUH! Brain fart!!!
2329 is the ladder and yes, it is still out of service.
The boss needs to be retrained!
I thought the ladder truck was still out of service to? Something to ask the fire chief and or Safety Director at the next council meeting.
I'm still trying to get over the loss of #2333, remember?
I believe the ladder truck was in for repairs. Either needed or to extend it's life past the normal duty cycle. Not sure if it is fixed yet but a month or so ago, that's what I was told.
Month or so? I think it's longer than that.
Sorry Term. A month ago I was told. You were not there so how do you know when I was told.
Nowhere did I say it has been out of service only for a month or so.
Maybe a little slower to jump to conclusions next time. Or maybe time to get over the election and work on your next city council election and anti school levy campaign.
3:41 I don't see the sense in arguing this at the first council meeting in October. After the meeting I had a conversation with Chief Mlachak and asked him then why the aerial truck was not at the station. So without arguing lets ask him when it was taken out of service? He mention engine, and hydralic problems along with reminding me you can't just drop it off at a common service station. I agree, but even a month seem long for a valuable piece of apparatus like this.
Do you have any idea what a new one costs today? Talk about sticker shock!
I myself have never had a problem with the deposit box. The only time I've had a problem is when I go inside the building to pay a bill,and deal with an employee. I've never heard about this problem.
To RPCFD, I dont think he was confused & I dont think he lives in the city and since he is retired, my question is what is the concern to you?
There's enough people who like to make waves without one of their own doing it too. Just stay retired and live happily ever after.
To Term 1:17: Yes, I never thought to use that City of Painesville electric/water bill drop box until this last year, or maybe not that long ago. I probably used it three or four times, putting the payment in there with plenty of time not to be late, and then they marked me late two of those times and charged me a late fee. I quit using the box. Obviously -- a stamp is cheaper than the late fee.
P.S. Last time I payed in person, I got a rude employee. Acted like she was just too good to be waiting on a piece of dirt like me, so I guess I WILL spring for the stamp from now on.
Question? Now that the HHS property is sold for $224,000.00, will the school still have to lay off all those people still? And what about the schools that came in under budget after being built? Shouldn't the taxpayers have gotten some of that back too?
You have a misconception of how government budgets it's money.
First off unlike the money in your family budget you can move funds from one area to another.
Schools have capital improvement leys [new schools] and general operating funds [pay for teachers}.
State law does not allow the boards to mix the money.
The best that the school system could do with the money received from the sale of school property is make the money we paid for the new schools lower. Maybe by ending the tax a year earlier. The same goes for the city schools share of the new buildings coming under budget.
What they can't do is take that $224,000 and use it for salaries.
That's not by their chose. It's state law.
Anyone who can explain this better please chime in.
I believe the new turf at Jack Britt Stadium was partly funded by capital improvement funds?
4:36,
Go to the BOE meeting Monday. The cuts they are seeking will be discussed/voted on then. The standard answer from them about any incoming money it usually "We can't put those funds into the General Fund". Should be interesting. The rumors around the school are that around 30 people are to be cut. Teachers and support people in the mix this time. Again, this is a rumor - could be less or more - it would be nice if they left the support people alone this time around. If they cut custodians and dining service, do you think teachers and administration will multi-task and clean toilets/serve lunch too?
6:35 Please fill us in on the Board Meeting Monday night.
Can't be in two places at once [city council, board meeting same time, same day]
Presently the AMP-OHIO vote will let people know what is in Painesville's electric future.
One thing I don't count on is any employee making a sacrifice with their salary's to save other staff's positions. Although thats how it's done in real life to save jobs.
Dont bother with the BOE meeting. Wont be discussed, will be at another meeting at Harvey.
Who is the boss with the hot sauce?
Ane what is hot sause?
I live in Painesville and I don't recall a rash of fires. One on Hayes, Jackson (I think that street) and one downtown. Where were others and were they reported?
one on Walnut St. one on Pearl St.
all four are rentals ??????????
