Good morning, Hocking County. When flames repeatedly return to the same site, investigators face a particularly challenging puzzle. That's exactly what's happening in New Straitsville, where fire officials are dealing with multiple rekindles at a Davis Street home that caught fire Saturday night. Fortunately, the home's sole occupant wasn't present during the blaze, sparing the community from what could have been a tragic outcome. Anyone with information about the fire's cause is encouraged to contact the tip line as investigators continue their meticulous work.
Meanwhile, transitions are underway in neighboring Perry County, where Steve Janiszewski steps into the mobility manager role following Lisa Leckrone's impressive 43-year public service career. The change comes amid funding reductions for regional mobility centers across Ohio. In the county courthouse, Judge Cooperrider has been busy maintaining order, placing juveniles in detention for property crimes and processing multiple Children Services cases that resulted in various custody arrangements and treatment requirements.
