There is currently a burn ban in effect during the months of March, April and May from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. When we are called to investigate and/or extinguish an illegal fire, that ties up emergency personnel.

● It is always unlawful to burn insulation off of wire.
● It is always unlawful to transport waste from one property to another and burn. Such as from a tree trimming business.

If you are going to have a recreational fire please follow these rules:

Keep your fire to a 5'x5’ size.
Ensure that the fire is monitored by an adult.
Have water available to extinguish the fire.
Only burn clean dry wood to reduce smoke.
Do not burn trash. This includes shingles, furniture, carpet, construction material, or household refuse.
Do so after 6 p.m.

You do not need to call the fire department or 911 before having a legal recreational fire.

Feel free to contact Buckeye Lake Fire Department at 740-928-3473 if you have any questions.

FROM WEST LICKING FIRE DISTRICT: West Licking Firefighters Remove Two Victims from Early-Morning House Fire

In the early morning hours of Friday, January 16, West Licking Fire District crews responded to a report of a residential structure fire. Upon arrival, personnel from Rescue 406 and Medic 406 encountered active fire and heavy black smoke coming from the first and second floor of the residence.

Crews immediately initiated a coordinated search and fire attack. During the primary search, firefighters from Station 406 located and removed two victims from the home. Both individuals were transported to the nearest trauma center; their conditions remain unknown at this time.

Multiple mutual-aid departments responded to assist with the incident. The West Licking Fire Marshal’s Office, in cooperation with the State Fire Marshal’s Office, is currently investigating the cause of the fire.

We’d like to thank our mutual aid partners of Walnut Township Fire Department, Thornville, City of Heath Fire Department, Newark Fire Department, Licking Township Fire Company, and Buckeye Lake Village Fire Department.

West Licking would like request that everyone keep the family and friends of those affected in their thoughts and prayers.

Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
