It’s time to celebrate but please do it carefully.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes and their families. Their legacy lives on in the values we uphold and the freedoms we cherish.

From all of us at Jerome Township Division of Fire, we extend our heartfelt gratitude.

We see a lot of posts on social media commenting on the sirens. These warnings are meant for people outdoors to seek shelter.

We had a blast despite the rain and just had to share more.

Today, we honor the brave firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. Thank you for your unwavering dedication.

🚨 **Emergency Response Alert!** 🚨

Our crews were called to assist Indian Lake area residents in the aftermath of a devastating disaster. In times like these, humanity shines brightest as we witnessed neighbors and strangers come together to help each other. It's heartening to witness the spirit of compassion and solidarity as communities unite to support one another. We're here to stand with all those who were affected, offering our aid and support during this challenging time. Together, we will overcome.

Are you ready for the solar eclipse? See below for things you should think about as this approaches.

The rare and breathtaking total solar eclipse is just a month away on Apr. 8. A partial eclipse will begin around 2pm, with totality occurring at about 3pm and lasting about 3 minutes. Similar events in other parts of the country have demonstrated the potential for travel impacts due to roadway congestion following the end of totality. That’s why we encourage Union County residents to be aware of potential traffic congestion and delays and why Union County Tourism encourages visitors to come early and stay late. If you may be visiting us from Columbus or another state, check out Union County Tourism’s event listing.

Facilitated by the Union County Emergency Management Agency, partners from across Union County continue to plan for the possibility of increased visitors and traffic. We hope you give a few moments of thought and preparation as well.

Things to Think About:

þ Get your solar eclipse glasses (make sure they meet ISO 12312-2 International Safety Standard).

þ Get medications refilled so you don’t have to run to the pharmacy on Apr. 8.

þ Traffic congestion & delays are possible in the afternoon/evening of Apr. 8.

þ Communication congestion is possible, diminishing cell phone and internet service

þ Unusual animal behavior often occurs during a total eclipse. During eclipses across the globe, people have observed nocturnal animals emerging while those that are typically active during the day suddenly retreat to their nighttime abodes.

See more tips at www.uchd.net/eclipse.

Fun Fact: A total solar eclipse is visible somewhere on Earth about once every 18 months, but often only viewable in remote locations. Generally, total solar eclipses are visible every 400 years from any one place. – Natural History Museum, London

It's that time of year! Get your ladders out and batteries ready.
