Starting June 1st, the statewide burn ban has been lifted. However, we would like to remind residents to use extreme caution when open burning and to follow local and state regulations. Enjoy your summertime campfires!

Ohio’s statewide burn ban is officially lifted, but with the dry weather of late, Ohioans still should use caution.

A huge thank you to our mutual aid partners Cardinal Joint Fire District (Canfield) and Western Reserve Joint Fire District (Poland) for providing ambulances to 3 of our medical calls so far today. A Beaver Township medic unit was also dispatched but canceled enroute to a motor vehicle accident earlier today. Thank again!

On Friday May 29th 2026 at approximately 1434 hours, Boardman Professional Firefighters C-turn crews were dispatched to a commercial fire in a strip plaza in the 6900 block of Southern Boulevard. Engine 71 and Command 71 arrived first on scene and reported smoke showing from the front of the structure. An attack line was stretched and a knock was made on the fire. Ladder 74 crews were assigned to search the building and no occupants or animals were found. Engine 73 crews were assigned to catch the hydrant. Western Reserve Joint Fire District Engine 92 was assigned to check surrounding businesses for extension.
