CH411, E419, G412, G414 were dispatched to the 14000 block of Lucerne Road at 6:17pm Monday on the report of a brush fire that had gotten out of control.
Upon arrival a large pile of debris was found on fire just a few feet away from a standing corn field. The fire spread to the woodpile that was right next to it. Crews quickly stopped the fire from spreading to the corn field, knocking down embers that were traveling in that direction. Around 1300 gallons of water were used during suppression. No damage to structures or neighboring crops occurred.
Although the fire came in after the State of Ohio burn ban hours for the day, the fire contained materials and items that are not permitted to be open burned at any time. Tires, trash, and other items are not permitted, and are under laws from the Ohio EPA through the Ohio Revised Code.
Residents were advised of the proper burn laws in the State.
All FCFD units were back in quarters at 7:04pm.
