Joint Statement Regarding Residential Structure Fire Investigation

On June 9, 2026, at approximately 11:04 a.m., officers with the New Lexington Police Department and personnel from the New Lexington Fire Department were dispatched to a reported residential structure fire in the 100 block of East Jefferson Street in New Lexington.

New Lexington Police Department officers arrived on scene and observed signs of a fire within the residence, including smoke conditions and evidence of heat damage. Officers were advised that an individual was believed to be inside the home.
Recognizing the potential life-threatening circumstances, officers immediately entered the residence in an attempt to locate the occupant. During their search, officers located a deceased individual inside the residence. Fire personnel arrived shortly thereafter and assumed fire suppression and scene operations.

The incident remains under investigation by the Ohio State Fire Marshal's Office. The identity of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

No additional information will be released at this time.

Last night, our crews had the opportunity to train with MedFlight during Landing Zone training.

This type of training helps prepare our firefighters and EMS providers to safely establish and manage helicopter landing zones during serious emergencies. By working alongside our air medical partners, our crews are able to strengthen communication, improve scene safety, and better coordinate emergency operations.

Ongoing training like this helps ensure our department is prepared to respond safely, efficiently, and effectively during critical incidents in our community.

Thank you to MedFlight 6- Morgan County, OH for taking the time to train with our department and help us continue serving our community.
