FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Last night, May 25, 2026, the Ovilla Volunteer Fire Department (Station 9) responded to a reported structure fire at 2381 Lawrenceburg Highway, the location of the old E&E Food & Spirits building. The call was received at approximately 9:30 PM, with crews remaining on scene until around 2:30 AM working to contain and extinguish the fire.

Thanks to the hard work and coordinated efforts of all responding agencies, the fire was contained primarily to the upper floor of the structure with only minimal extension into the lower floor.

Ovilla Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all assisting departments and agencies, including Station 7, Station 1, Henryville Fire Department, West End Fire Department, and Box 50 from Lawrence County for their assistance and support throughout the incident.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

We greatly appreciate the teamwork, dedication, and long hours put in by every responder involved to help protect our community.

If anyone has any information in regards to this incident please reach out to us.

🚒🐟 TODAY’S THE DAY! 🐟🚒

Join the Ovilla Fire Department today from **4:00 PM – 7:00 PM** for our **SWAMP JOHNS Fish Fry Fundraiser!** Come enjoy a great meal while supporting your local firefighters and the department’s ongoing needs.

📍 Plates are now **$16 each**

We also want to let everyone know about a change this year. Unfortunately, the caterer has increased their prices and has also discontinued providing the sweet tea that was previously included with meals. These decisions were made by the caterer and are completely out of our hands.

That said, we know how much everyone enjoys the sweet tea, and we are doing our best to make accommodations to provide tea ourselves while supplies last. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and continued support as we work through these changes. We will have plenty of cold bottled water and lemonade as well.

Thank you for always supporting the Ovilla Fire Department and our community. We hope to see you there tonight! 🚒❤️
