State Fire School, Ohio Recognizes Andrew Bartnikowski for Completion of Rope Rescue Operations Certification; A Milestone in a Distinguished Career of Service
Columbus, Ohio, 1 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The State Fire School of Ohio proudly recognizes Andrew Bartnikowski for his successful completion of the Rope Rescue Operations Certification, a rigorous 32-contact-hour program held March 14–17, 2022, under Charter 369. This accomplishment marks yet another milestone in Bartnikowski’s long-standing commitment to public safety, technical excellence, and service-driven leadership across the state of Ohio and beyond.
The Rope Rescue Operations certification represents one of the most demanding fields of specialized emergency response. It equips firefighters and rescue personnel with the advanced skills to safely navigate high-angle environments, perform complex technical rescues, and operate in situations where precision, discipline, and teamwork determine life-or-death outcomes. Completing this program reflects a deep dedication not only to personal and professional development, but to the safety and well-being of the communities served. For Andrew Bartnikowski, however, this certification is much more than another credential. It is part of a larger professional journey spanning more than two decades defined by leadership, service, mentorship, and a lifelong commitment to protecting others.
A Career Rooted in Service and Leadership
With more than 20 years of experience across both the public and private sectors, Andrew Bartnikowski has forged a reputation as a strategic thinker, an exceptional trainer, and a dependable emergency responder. Since 2012, he has faithfully served the City of Columbus Division of Fire as a Firefighter and Lead Paramedic, responding to more than 10,000 emergency calls throughout his tenure. Whether navigating high-stress medical emergencies, complex fire incidents, or large-scale response operations, Bartnikowski is recognized for bringing calm, clarity, and expertise to every scene. His colleagues and supervisors consistently note his decisive leadership and exceptional patient care, particularly under pressure.
His early service with the Worthington, Ohio Fire Department and Bluffton Township, South Carolina further strengthened his foundation as a firefighter-paramedic, instilling the discipline and operational readiness that continue to define his work today.
A Proven Trainer and Mentor
Beyond his fieldwork, Andrew has distinguished himself as an educator and mentor, shaping the next generation of firefighters through his significant contributions to training and instruction.
Over the course of his career, he has served as:
● Instructor at the Firefighter Academy
● Leader of live burn and fire behavior training exercises
● Educator for recruits and in-service personnel on emergency response, safety protocols, and fire prevention
● Advisor and mentor to new firefighters transitioning into field operations
His commitment to high-quality training ensures that every firefighter under his guidance enters the profession with the technical knowledge, confidence, and discipline required to save lives. His instruction emphasizes not only tactical skill, but emotional resilience, teamwork, and the importance of maintaining professionalism in life-threatening environments.
Influence Beyond the Fireground
Bartnikowski’s leadership extends well beyond technical rescue and emergency medicine. Over the years, he has served as a union steward, negotiation committee member, and representative in administrative investigations. In these roles, he was instrumental in shaping a landmark $300 million labor contract, safeguarding worker rights, improving operational standards, and advancing new safety protocols designed to protect both firefighters and the communities they serve. His colleagues describe him as a steady voice capable of bridging administrative needs with the realities of field operations, ensuring that firefighters’ concerns are heard, understood, and addressed.
Service Through Advocacy: Founder of the Class 12/10/12 Foundation
Perhaps one of the most defining elements of Bartnikowski’s career is his deep commitment to supporting firefighters and their families beyond active duty. As the founder of the Class 12/10/12 Foundation, he established a nonprofit dedicated to assisting families of injured or fallen firefighters and addressing the critical issue of first responder suicide. Under his leadership, the foundation has raised more than $150,000, providing financial aid, emotional support, and community resources for personnel navigating tragedy, trauma, and loss. His advocacy efforts have elevated awareness of mental health challenges within the fire service. Its an area often overlooked, despite its profound impact on the lives of firefighters nationwide.
A Multifaceted Professional Background
While emergency response forms the backbone of Bartnikowski’s career, his expertise is reinforced by a strong professional foundation across multiple industries. His prior experience includes:
● Mortgage planning and financial strategy
● Construction project management
● Skilled trades and technical operations
This diverse background equips him with a unique blend of analytical ability, structural understanding, and organizational insight that complement his emergency management and leadership capabilities.
Education, Certifications, and Professional Affiliations
Andrew holds a Bachelor of Science in Resource Management from The Ohio State University, an academic foundation that supports his operational decision-making and resource-driven leadership.
His certifications span a wide range of critical emergency service disciplines, including:
● Paramedicine
● Fire Instruction
● HAZMAT Operations
● Rope Rescue Operations
● Specialized emergency response coursework
These credentials reflect a lifelong dedication to continuous learning and readiness. He is also an active member of several respected professional organizations, including:
● International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF)
● Ohio Association of Professional Fire Fighters (OAPFF)
● Ohio State University Alumni Association
A Commitment to Excellence, Now Strengthened by Rope Rescue Certification
The completion of the Rope Rescue Operations program underscores Andrew Bartnikowski’s ongoing pursuit of the highest standards of technical proficiency and public safety. Whether responding to high-angle rescues, complex fire emergencies, medical crises, or large-scale incidents, this certification enhances his ability to protect lives in some of the most dangerous and demanding environments.
It demonstrates not only technical skill, but the resilience, dedication, and forward-thinking mindset that have defined his career. As communities continue to evolve and emergency response challenges grow more complex, professionals like Bartnikowski, trained, experienced, and deeply committed, stand at the forefront of public safety, ensuring readiness, reliability, and compassionate care.

Travel Light and Embrace Every Journey with Ease — COOFANDY Spring/Summer Collection Infuses Lightness and Style into Men’s Daily Wear
As the initial hustle and bustle of the year gradually subsides, life returns to its familiar rhythm. For contemporary men, true transformation doesn’t stem from a grand starting point but rather permeates every daily choice. The transition from spring to summer isn’t a completely fresh beginning; instead, it’s a seamless continuation of life’s journey—and so should one’s wardrobe.
Spring/Summer Narrative: Lightness, Freedom, and Fluidity
As a brand dedicated to men’s apparel, COOFANDYcontinues its core philosophy of “Dress the Journey” in this season’s spring/summer collection, breaking free from the notion that clothing is only meant for specific occasions. Whether it’s the morning commute, an evening stroll after work, or a weekend get-together, clothing is no longer confined by scenarios but becomes a companion that adapts to different states and accompanies daily life. The design logic of “lighter, easier, and more fluid” runs throughout the entire collection, interpreting the men’s dressing philosophy of “traveling light.”
COOFANDY believes that men don’t need to pile on clothes in spring and summer but rather make “just-right” choices. Lightness doesn’t equate to casualness—even basic styles incorporate precise control over silhouettes. Comfort doesn’t mean sacrificing style—simple designs still retain detailed textures, allowing daily wear to be effortless yet stylish.
Key Pieces: Urban Gear for All-Day Adaptability
This collection features two key pieces that precisely fit various life scenarios.
Between the morning light and evening glow of the city, clothing needs to be flexible. The COOFANDY Knitted Button-Down Vintage Polo, with its soft fabric and retro texture, is an ideal companion for daily wear. Paired with jeans in the morning, it offers a polished look for the commute; by evening, unbutton the collar and roll up the sleeves to transition effortlessly into a café-ready style; for nighttime gatherings, layer it over a T-shirt or match it with shorts to reveal a naturally relaxed vintage vibe. One piece, multiple ways to wear—no need for deliberate changes, just ease through the day’s rhythm.
For short trips or approaching holidays, style should return to “comfort and ease.” The COOFANDY Cotton-Linen Henley T-Shirt, made from a blend of 90% cotton and 10% linen, offers a light and breathable wearing experience. Paired with chinos for a smart-casual look, with jeans for relaxed outings, or with shorts for a holiday vibe—it fits naturally into various settings without effort, allowing you to focus on the scenery and the moment.
Lasting Companionship Over Seasonal Turnovers
For COOFANDY, clothing should not be a temporary choice for the season but a long-term companion for life’s journey. The brand adheres to a “made to last, not just to wear fast” design approach—from careful fabric selection to timeless cuts, every detail is crafted to provide enduring and effortless companionship, ensuring each piece stands the test of time.
Lighter chapters don’t mean slowing down.
They mean moving forward with ease.

From Home to Holiday: One Garment for Multiple Scenarios
Life is constantly in motion, with scenarios shifting from working from home and urban commuting to weekend gatherings and planning spring getaways… Your attire should seamlessly adapt to these changes.

Add a Touch of “Ritual” to Love: AVIDLOVE Illuminates Daily Sparks in Intimate Relationships with Design
As the evening sunlight fades, home becomes a corner where two people shed their fatigue. In many long-term relationships, has the natural romance and spontaneity quietly faded amid daily routines?
We often reserve intense emotions for holidays, as if only anniversaries or Valentine’s Day deserve careful preparation. Yet, what truly nourishes intimate relationships are often those ordinary, unnamed evenings: the relaxation of sharing a glass of wine, the leisure of sleeping in together on a weekend morning. These seemingly ordinary moments form the foundation of a relationship but are also the most prone to slipping into monotony. To address this, AVIDLOVE, a brand dedicated to enhancing intimate experiences for couples, proposes a new idea: through carefully designed lingerie, integrate romance into daily life, infusing every ordinary evening with a sense of “ritual.”
Redefining Ritual: Lingerie as a Daily Emotional Trigger
For more and more couples, the concept of “ritual” in relationships is being redefined. It no longer equates to expensive gifts or elaborate arrangements but rather an active choice in lifestyle: intentionally creating experiences of mutual focus, pleasure, and deep connection, transforming ordinary evenings into private moments exclusive to the two.
From this perspective, the role of lingerie has also shifted. AVIDLOVE believes that a good piece of lingerie should not just be “armor” for special occasions but can also serve as an “emotional trigger” in daily life. It is a gift to oneself, unlocking inner confidence and joy; it is also a gentle and intimate signal to a partner, conveying: “I value this moment, and I value us.”
Subtle Details, Evoking Connection
A carefully chosen piece of lingerie often holds meaning beyond the visual. When delicate, skin-friendly lace lightly touches the skin, or when the cut perfectly hugs the body, the wearer first experiences a sense of personal beauty. This confidence and comfort naturally translate into a relaxed and captivating atmosphere.
For a partner, this is like an unexpected invitation—tonight, let’s set aside trivial matters and rediscover each other. For example, a lace pajama set adorned with floral embroidery can subtly shift the mood of a space with its elegant drape and intricate details. Meanwhile, a long-sleeve bodysuit that fits like a second skin seamlessly transitions between home and outings, extending a touch of delicate tenderness.
“Feel Every Spark”: Discovering Surprise in Daily Life
The vitality of an intimate relationship stems from continuous, small investments. Integrating romance into daily life aims to break the myth that “romance requires grand efforts.” A lace babydoll dress adorned with a bow, or a long-sleeve lace set that balances sensuality and casualness, can use design language to quietly suggest: tonight can be different.
This also resonates with AVIDLOVE’s advocacy of “Feel Every Spark”—encouraging couples to refocus on the present, igniting sparks and connections hidden in daily life through thoughtful clothing or simple gestures.
Comfort as the Foundation, Blending into Every Moment Together
AVIDLOVE firmly believes that true attraction always stems from unconstrained comfort. To achieve this, the brand selects skin-friendly, breathable fabrics and researches cuts aligned with ergonomics, ensuring each product not only offers visual delight but also provides an exceptional wearing experience.
From leisurely moments at home to the anticipation of a date night, and the excitement of anniversaries, AVIDLOVE aims to provide intimate companionship for all scenarios. Through thoughtful design, love and blend into every corner of life, quietly igniting sparks in ordinary days.
Feel Every Spark.
With AVIDLOVE.
