🚨 FIRE & LIFE SAFETY REMINDER: CEILING TILE INTEGRITY 🚨
Ceiling tiles are more than just a finished look—they play an important role in fire protection systems and building safety.
Damaged, missing, or improperly replaced ceiling tiles can create serious concerns, including: • Compromised fire resistance ratings • Obstructed or altered sprinkler system coverage • Hidden fire spread pathways above ceilings • Improper access to electrical or mechanical systems
⚠️ Building owners and occupants should routinely check for: ✔ Sagging or water-damaged tiles ✔ Missing or displaced tiles not properly reinstalled ✔ Unauthorized cutting or modifications ✔ Signs of leaks or structural damage above ceiling areas
Maintaining ceiling tile integrity helps ensure fire protection systems function as designed and keeps occupants safer.
If you have questions regarding the calculation of occupant load or posting requirements, contact our Inspection Division at ohiotownshipfire.org/contact/ or call (812) 858-4313.
Working together, we can help keep our community safe!
Grilling season is here, and it’s a great time to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. Before you fire up the grill, take a moment to keep safety in mind.
Follow these important grill safety tips: 🔥 Keep grills at least 10 feet from structures Always place grills a safe distance from homes, decks, and overhangs. 🚫 Never grill inside garages or enclosed spaces This can quickly lead to fires and dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. 🔍 Check propane hoses for leaks Inspect hoses regularly for cracks, damage, or leaks before using your grill. 👨👩👧👦 Keep children and pets away Create a safety zone around the grill to prevent burns and injuries.
A few simple precautions can help prevent fires and keep your cookout safe.
Our firefighters at Station 1 were able to share their excitement for our profession with a very inquisitive group of kids today. We’re so grateful that you all came to tour our station this morning!
