This is the second in a series of post about the safe discharge of fireworks. For clarification, 1.4G fireworks are basically all fireworks that a consumer can purchase at a fireworks dealer.

Great summertime activities!!

We have had some great fun the past few days visiting some of the lemonade stands around town. It is important for us to use these opportunities to make the kids comfortable with us so that in times of an emergency they know they can trust the BJFD and BPD and to encourage their hard work and enthusiasm.

We have been getting lots of questions about the legal rules about setting off fireworks. We will be putting out a series of posts to inform the residents about the laws around fireworks starting with the only days they are legal to discharge fireworks. All of this information can be found in the "Ohio Department of Commerce Consumer information on Ohio's Fireworks Laws" and the Ohio Revised Code as well as the Ohio Fire Code.

Urgent Public Safety Advisory regarding Telephone Fraud
The Baltimore Police Department has been alerted to a recent surge in fraudulent phone activity within our community. Residents report receiving calls from individuals posing as deputies claiming that the recipient has an outstanding warrant, unpaid fines, or unresolved legal matters.
To appear credible, these scammers often reference legitimate past court activity—such as traffic violations—harvested from public records. They frequently employ high-pressure tactics, demanding that victims remain on the line while purchasing Amazon gift cards or delivering cash to a secondary location. Furthermore, they may use the names of actual local deputies and "spoof" their caller ID to display "Fairfield County Sheriff." They will also say that you will be arrested if you go to the Sheriffs Office to try and pay.
Please be advised: Law enforcement will never contact you via telephone to demand payment, nor will we threaten arrest for visiting a police station or Sheriffs office. If you receive a call of this nature, do not provide any personal information. Hang up immediately.
