Here is a photo taken of a tractor-trailer fire by Jeff Laing this morning at 5:25 a.m. at the Beaverdam Interstate 75 exit. The Icon does not have any other detail of the fire at this time.

Jan Basinger, Bluffton EMS chief provided The Icon with the June EMS runs:

The years 2011 and 2012 are very similar, according to the chart showing calls to the Bluffton Fire Department.

On Monday, Jon Kinn, fire chief, provided Bluffton council with a 2012 six-month fire run report.

During the first six months of 2011 the department responded to 53 calls. For the same time period of 2012, it responded to 54 calls.

The 2012 chart is an attachment at the bottom of this story.

The Hancock County Sheriff's Office is conducting increased patrol from July 3 through July 5 thanks to grant funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, according to Sergeant Matt Kinsinger of the patrol.

Deputies will pay particular attention for violations such as driving under the influence, and failure to yield and speeding; all of which are leading actors in fatal crashes. There will be zero tolerance for driving under the influence and seat belt violations.
