Morgan Township trustees adopted the 2025 revisions to the Ohio Fire Code at their Dec. 22 meeting and received updates on emergency services activity.
Chair relayed a request from Chief Menery and Assistant Chief Griffith to adopt the state’s 2025 Ohio Fire Code revisions (effective Nov. 20, 2025); the board approved the motion by voice vote. The chief reported 34 incidents in November, about 12 mutual aid runs, and noted the township again exceeded 500 runs for the year.
Chiefs also outlined EMS performance metrics: a typical out-the-door time around 1 minute 46 seconds, which the chief said is well below the cited national average of 2 minutes 57 seconds. Trustees discussed transports and recent multi-vehicle incidents that required mutual aid and a helicopter landing.
Separately, the chair said the sheriff’s office granted the township access to its CAD dispatch data, allowing the township to report monthly interactions (the chief cited 154 sheriff-related interactions in November and similar figures for October). The board agreed the data provides transparency about sheriff activity and extra patrols in the township.
