Summertime duck tales! Today your 1 unit firefighters and Ashville PD successfully executed a daring rescue of approximately 10 ducklings. The ducklings were checked for injuries by a local Zoo keeper (we’re serious, how awesome is that?) before being reunified with a very concerned mama duck. Big thanks to APD and our team of neighbors that helped us coordinate and pull off the rescue!

“It was good to see him doing well and no deficit, and I’m really proud of the department. Harrison’s a great place, and I’m glad we were able to get that shown today.” -Lieutenant Nicholas Krouse

We couldn’t be more proud of our personnel for stepping up in Layton’s time of need. When seconds matter, we are always ready to answer the call.

Layton Waugh had less than 1% chance of surviving after being shot in the chest. Five months later, the 19-year-old took the stage to honor the Harrison Township EMS crew who saved his life: https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/19-year-old-shooting-victim-helps-honor-ems-personnel-ohio/530-24e72452-3c4a-4abf-9ed8-df2b4677f561?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_10TV_-_WBNS

This morning we were dispatched to the area of Walnut Creek Pike north of SR 752 on a report of a motor vehicle collision. 2 vehicles were found with heavy damage and 1 occupant in each vehicle was trapped and unable to get out. Another victim, a back seat passenger from one of the vehicles was found standing with bystanders nearby.

The victims were quickly extricated from the vehicles by firefighters. Medics began treatment immediately and transferred care of each victim to helicopters for transport to area hospitals in fair condition. The back seat passenger was transported by ground in stable condition.

This collision remains under investigation by the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office.

Thank you to our public safety partners for their assistance this morning.
