The following information was supplied by the Stow Police Department.
The Stow Fire Department received a call from a frantic teen July 13 because he said his friend was short of breath and had chest pains. The boy hung up without giving an address, according to the report. An emergency trace resulted in finding the location where the teens were — the 2000 block of Samira Road. While EMS went to check the area, a Stow Youth Services employee was able to get a hold of the teen on the phone again. The teen said his 14-year-old friend was "freaking out," which is why he called 9-1-1. When EMS arrived, they said the teen was OK and there was no medical emergency. The teens were taken to their parents. Police said they determined the teen had smoked "spice" or K2 — a synthetic marijuana. The police report …

Free blood pressure checks are done throughout the day at the main fire station.
The Stow Fire Department paramedics who perform blood pressure checks at the city’s Safety Building can set their clocks by Lois Camden, who has used the free service almost daily since July 2004. Every weekday between 1:30 and 1:40 p.m., the 26-year City Hall receptionist/secretary walks across the parking lot between the two buildings. There’s no question from front desk personnel about why she’s there. They just page paramedics to come render the quick check. And no matter which paramedic comes into the lobby with a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff, Camden knows his or her name. It’s like her own version of “Cheers.” Camden can also recite a list of other “regulars” who take advantage of the free community benefit that has been …
