Today, we honor the brave.

Behind every alarm is a firefighter ready to run toward danger… when everyone else is running away.

They don’t ask who you are.
They don’t hesitate.
They just show up. Every single time.

Courage in the face of fear.
Honor in every action.
Sacrifice beyond words.

To all firefighters around the world, thank you for protecting lives, homes, and futures.

You are the reason many get a second chance.

Coshocton County is currently under a wind advisory, with gusts potentially reaching 40 to 50 mph and a high of 70 degrees forecasted. Although the weather may be conducive to outdoor spring cleanup, residents are reminded of the statewide burn ban in Ohio, effective during the months of March, April, May, October, and November. During this period, open burning is prohibited between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Given the wind conditions, it is recommended to avoid any open burning after 6:00 PM. The recent wind storm has resulted in a significant workload for our county's fire departments, and open burning may lead to potential fire emergencies.
