Good morning, Clermont County. Elite status isn't easily earned, yet Liberty Township Fire Department has maintained its prestigious Class Two rating for nearly a decade under Chief Klussman's leadership. This rare distinction—shared by just 103 agencies nationwide—doesn't just represent operational excellence; it translates to potential insurance savings for local homeowners and businesses through rigorous evaluation of everything from emergency communications to community risk reduction efforts.
Meanwhile, a troubling pattern has emerged with three serious vehicle-pedestrian accidents involving teens in less than a week across the region, including a 14-year-old hospitalized after being struck in Villa Hills. On a brighter note, Covington's ambitious $50 million riverfront transformation is seeking builders to reshape 23 acres of urban core, joining other major developments like a $125 million law and medical school that continue to reshape Northern Kentucky's landscape.

🚒 Liberty Township Fire Department maintains elite status among US agencies. The department has earned a Class Two rating for the second time since Chief Ethan Klussman took over eight years ago. This places them among just 103 agencies nationwide with this prestigious designation from the Insurance Services Office. The rating evaluates emergency communications, operations, water supply, and community risk reduction efforts. Maintaining this high classification for nearly a decade can lead to lower insurance premiums for local homes and businesses.

A 15-year-old Moeller High School student died Sunday after being hit while bicycling in Colerain Township, while a 13-year-old was critically injured Friday when struck by an SUV in a Liberty Township crosswalk.
