Hearing a lot of sirens the past couple of weeks? The Harrison Township fire trucks have been busy. Since March 4, we
have been on 22 field/grass fires. We had to receive aid from neighboring fire departments 3 times and gave aid 4 times.
Please remember that the grass and corn/bean fields are still very dry and wind conditions can change very rapidly in the
Spring months.

The Ohio EPA regulates open burning and has several rules/laws pertaining to such. Please view the link below. Feel free
to contact the fire station if yo have any questions at 740-983-4115
