We’ve put this out in the past, but we thought we’d share it again.

Our Office would like to remind all citizens of Ohio’s Fireworks Laws. Please click the link below for more information about when fireworks can be discharged, as well as additional rules and regulations associated with the discharge of fireworks.

We ask that you DO NOT call 9-1-1 to simply report someone for using fireworks. If you would like to report someone using fireworks outside of the allotted time, please call our non-emergency line at 419-586-7724.

9-1-1 should ONLY be used in emergencies.

🚨 When you see a fire truck or ambulance with lights and sirens, please slow down, move over safely, and give them space. They are responding to someone in need, and every second matters. Let’s keep our first responders and our community safe. ❤️

Public Safety Announcement: Slow Down & Move Over
Last night, one of our fire engines was struck by a semi on I‑75 while crews were operating at an emergency scene. Thankfully, no firefighters were injured — but this incident is a serious reminder of how dangerous highway responses can be.
When you see emergency lights:
• Slow Down
• Move Over into the next lane if possible
• Give responders space to work safely
These steps aren’t just courteous — they are Ohio law and they save lives. Every day, firefighters, medics, police officers, tow operators, and highway workers stand just feet away from fast‑moving traffic while helping others.
Your cooperation helps ensure we all make it home safely.
Thank you for doing your part to protect those who protect you.

From leading the way in our community parades to answering the toughest calls without hesitation—this is what dedication looks like.

Behind every truck is a team willing to run toward danger when others are told to stay back. Today, we recognize the courage, sacrifice, and pride that firefighters carry with them every single day.

Thank you for protecting our community, standing strong in the face of the unknown, and always showing up when it matters most.

We appreciate you today and every day. 🚒🔥
