The Upper Arlington Fire Division is always looking for innovative ways to bring the best care possible to our community and are proud to offer CARES—Community Assistance, Referrals and Education Services. CARES focuses on education, injury prevention and building community partnerships to help improve residents lives. CARES is a paramedicine program that provides community-based healthcare, with our paramedics functioning outside their customary emergency response roles to educate and assist residents in health care issues, and developing useful collaborations with area providers.

Area shelters, libraries, and recreation centers in Upper Arlington and Columbus provide designated warming centers for residents seeking temporary refuge from the cold. These locations are open during specific hours and offer a safe, heated environment.
