This morning our crews responded to a report of a residence on fire on W 10th St. We received support from Georgetown Ambulance, Westville Fire, Ridge Farm Fire and Georgetown PD. When our crews arrived they found the back portion of a residence involved and set about mitigating the flames. No injuries, no loss of life, and no damage to property other than the structure which was vacant.

Thank you to our mutual aid partners for their timely response and support this morning. Also, thank you to the neighbor who saw the flames and called 911 allowing for a quick response before it became a bigger incident.

🚒 PSA: Do Not Park in Fire Lanes 🚒

As a reminder, you should not park in the fire lane unless you are an emergency vehicle! We see it weekly, sometimes daily...yes, Target, Walmart, Aldi's, Meijer, Kroger to name a few. These lanes must remain unobstructed at all times. Parking, idling, leaving a vehicle unattended or waiting in a fire lane, even for a few minutes, can have serious consequences. The seconds it takes us to get a vehicle to move out of a fire lane can cause irreparable harm to a medical patient, loss of a property or worse.

Why It's Important:

🔥Emergency Access: Fire lanes provide essential access for fire trucks, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles. Blocking these lanes can delay response times during critical situations.
🚑Safety First: In an emergency, every second counts. Clear fire lanes ensure that firefighters and paramedics can reach those in need as quickly as possible.
‼️Legal Consequences: Parking in a fire lane is illegal and can result in fines, towing, and other penalties, even if there is not present fire or emergency.

Let's all do our part to keep our community safe. Please be mindful of where you park, especially during the holidays when parking lots are busier than usual. Your cooperation can make a life-saving difference. Thank you for your understanding and support.
