At 09:18 today units from Green Township Fire & EMS were dispatched to the 6700 block of Harrison Avenue for a fire alarm activation. While responding, units were advised that the whole apartment building was full of smoke, so the incident was upgraded to a building fire response. Engine 53 arrived, located a working fire in a second floor apartment and performed an aggressive interior attack, declaring the fire under control at 09:33. Thanks to our mutual aid partners from Miami Township Fire & EMS, Cheviot Fire Department, Whitewater Township Fire Department, and Colerain Township Fire Department for the assistance. There were no injuries to civilians or firefighters; however, one dog died as a result of the smoke from the fire. The cause is under investigation, but is not considered suspicious.

🔥 REMEMBER - If you have a lithium-ion battery you believe is damaged or dead, you can safely recycle them at Station 25 (3251 Springdale Rd.).

Colerain Fire is a proud partner of the Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub as an off-site location for its Fire Department Lithium Battery Collection program. Recycling these batteries don't just reduce fire hazards, but it's also better for our environment and safer for sanitation workers who would otherwise be handling damaged lithium-ion batteries.

Rumpke is reminding customers not to place lithium-ion batteries in the trash or recycling containers at homes and businesses after three load fires over the past week. FULL STORY ⬇️
