It was another jam-packed day for first responders in Scioto County, with 63 calls logged in just 24 hours. From emergency medical runs to domestic disputes and a rash of false alarms, local EMS, fire, and law enforcement agencies had their hands full.
Earlier this year, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office made the decision to stop providing detailed call logs to Scioto County Daily News. While we’re no longer able to deliver the same deep-dive articles on each call, our commitment to transparency remains strong. We’ll continue to bring you all the information that is available to us. Here’s a breakdown of Thursday’s activity:
