🚒 Fire Safety Reminder from Ohio Township Fire Department – Inspection Division 🚒
Keeping exit paths clear can save lives. Hallways, doors, stairways, and exits must remain free of clutter so everyone can get out quickly in an emergency.
The Indiana Fire Code Section requires that all means of egress be continuously maintained free of obstructions. This applies to both the interior and exterior (including the accumulation of snow and ice) of commercial structures. Blocked exits can delay escape and hinder firefighters’ ability to respond.
✔️ Keep walkways, exits, and doors clear ✔️ Do not store items in hallways or stairwells ✔️ Make sure exit doors open easily and completely
If you have questions or need guidance on compliance, contact our Inspection Division Direct Line: (812) 858-4313.
Working together, we can help keep our community safe!
Scattered clusters of storms will move into the region this evening and into the overnight hours. Primary concern will be for damaging wind gusts. The hail and tornado threat is very low, but not 0%.
Timeframe of concern as of right now is 10pm - 2am. ... See MoreSee Less
Ohio Township firefighters were able to assist the Chandler Volunteer Fire Department on a grass fire near North State Street and Millersburgh Road. The fire was extinguished without incident.
Did you know that commercial businesses were required to have their address posted?
Indiana Fire Code requires that the address numbers, building numbers or building identification be placed so that they are plainly legible from the street or road fronting the property. If a building has multiple occupancies with suites, this would include the need for the individual suite numbers/letters to be posted as well. If you have questions regarding what is required, contact our Inspection Division at ohiotownshipfire.org/contact/ or call (812) 858-4213.
Once the holidays are over, it’s important to dispose of your live Christmas tree safely!
The Warrick County Solid Waste is accepting trees free of charge for county residents until January 10. You can drop them off at 1111 S. Pelzer Road in Boonville. If you any questions regarding disposal, Solid Waste can be reached at (812-897-6155).
