On the evening of January 11, 2016, an explosion and fire devastated a home at 7486 Skyhaven Drive in Northfield Center Township. An entire family – mother, father, and two little girls perished in this terrible incident.
Before the Fire Department was dispatched, and in an effort to rescue anyone in the home, neighbors Randy Nickschinski, Nathan Nickschinski, and Jim Russo tried to enter the home to search for the family. Randy kicked in the front door and the family dog ran out. The three men searched the first floor of the burning home for the family and finally were driven back by the fire. Randy Nickschinski entered the home again but his search was in vain.
An alarm was received at the Fire District at 8:45 p.m. by Summit County Dispatch which indicated by callers that there was an explosion and a home was fully engulfed in flame with the possibility of residents still inside. Northfield Center – Sagamore Hills Fire District 27 personnel and equipment were on the scene at 8:51 p.m. An exterior fire attack began immediately. Fire Chief Frank Risko took command and received mutual aid from Macedonia, Oakwood Village, Twinsburg, Northfield Village, and the Valley Fire District. The quick response of the neighboring fire departments resulted in the fire being controlled in a short amount of time.
Summit County Deputy Sheriff Wes Dobbins assisted in traffic control and general assistance to the fire firefighters. Deputy Catherine Phillips attempted to enter the house to effect a rescue of the family but the intensity of the fire was too great. Lead Detective Jason Kline and Detective Michele Porter were in charge of the investigation and Deputy Corey Thompson arrived with the Crime Scene Unit. The home was entered after the fire was under control and Chief Risko notified the State Fire Marshall who responded with Lead Fire Marshall Brian Peterman, and two other Fire Marshalls. Northfield Center Road Foreman Frank Buehner salted Skyhaven to facilitate safe road conditions and the Red Cross provided the fire fighters warm drinks and food from their van.
Many thanks to the neighboring fire chiefs: Timothy Black (Macedonia), James Schade (Oakwood Village), Jason Buss (Northfield Village), Timothy Morgen (Twinsburg), and Charles Riedel (Valley Fire District). Summit County was the prime dispatch with Macedonia as secondary.
Northfield Center Trustee/Vice-Chair Paul G. Buescher was of great help with the media at the scene that night and the following day. Newly-appointed Trustee John J. Romanik was also at the fire scene and provided assistance.
We want to make note of the neighbors and their actions that evening. They provided warm beverages to the fire fighters and deputies, and upon request of Chief Risko, supplied rock salt due to the slippery conditions. Their loving concern and grief over the loss of the four family members has continued to this day.
The Northfield Center Township Board of Trustees and Fiscal Officer wish to express their gratitude to all persons and organizations mentioned in this Proclamation.
