Safety Sleeves
The Safety Sleeve program is designed to help paramedics find valuable medical information about you should you not be able to speak, or are unconscious. Each sleeve contains 1 or more sheets containing the medical history, medications, etc., of each occupant in the residence. The sleeve is slim in design and attaches to the front of your refrigerator with a magnet that is attached to the back of the sleeve. We ask that you place the sleeve on your refrigerator and not on some other metal surface. Please fill out the sheet as completely as possible. Enlist a family member to help you write information down if need be. If you have a valid Do Not Resuscitate Order, we ask that you place a copy of that in the sleeve as well. Each sleeve comes with 1 sheet inside of the sleeve. If you need additional sheets, please call Fire Headquarters at 513-867-5379, or stop by Fire Headquarters located at 375 Nilles Road (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM).
