AMANDA - One man is dead following a house fire at 7985 Lancaster-Circleville Road around 1 a.m. Thursday, Fairfield County Sheriff Alex Lape said. He got his family out and somehow became a victim of the fire, he said. I don t know if he was inside trying to retrieve pets or something along those lines. I don t know that.
Lape did not release the victim s name yet or the cause of the fire. But he said the victim s next of kin had been notified. Lape also said he believes the deceased man was the homeowner. I know the family and I know the relationship, Lape said. It s a sad, sad thing for anybody to have to go through especially when it ends up the way that it did. It s too bad.
LANCASTER - Local safety forces leaders are leaving it to their employees discretion to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, while still enforcing state and local safety protocols.
Doses of the vaccine were available to firefighters in December of 2020, and while initially promised to law enforcement officers around the same time, doses for police weren t available in Ohio until March of this year.
And while the vaccine isn t compulsory, local department leaders feel their employees will follow proper guidelines when dealing with the public.
Vaccinations have been made available to much of the general public at this point.
Sheriff s office
Fairfield County Sheriff Alex Lape said the sheriff s office chose to lead by example, getting the vaccine when it was available.
