Safety

We are accepting applications for volunteer fire & EMS personnel. Please call Chief Richards at 440-387-2498 to apply.

Reflective address numbers are available to township residents for properties located in the township. The reflective numbers should be placed horizontally on top of mailbox posts. If they are placed lower, snow or landscaping might cover the numbers. Let’s make sure the fire department can easily find you if they are needed. For more information, please call the fire department at 440-926-2166.

Trees & landscaping located too close to driveways could delay or prevent fire equipment from reaching your structure(s). Please trim tree limbs & landscaping as needed.

Ohio Revised Code allows minimal situations where open burning is legal. The burning of building materials, furnishings, garbage, plastics, or food containers are just a few of a large list of items that are never legal to burn. The burning of any of these items is also illegal if burned in barrels, fireplaces, or outdoor boilers. In response to an increase in residents who are burning on their property, the fire department will begin greater enforcement of the open burning laws. Open burning violations can result in penalties. For more information, please call the fire department at 440-926-2166.
