64th ANNUAL EXCHANGE CLUB
SAFETY TOWN PROGRAM
The Bellefontaine Exchange Club has announced plans to sponsor their 64th Annual Safety Town Program. The first was held in 1962 at the request of a parent whose son was killed while crossing the street.
Tim Notestine, Safety Town Chairman, and graduate of that first Safety Town, reminds us that Safety Town provides instruction to pre-school aged children. The program includes pedestrian safety, traffic signals and signs, fire safety, good and bad touching, not getting in cars with strangers and the hazards of drugs among other things.
Instructors are trained officers from the Bellefontaine Police Department and Logan County Sheriff’s Office along with occasional assistance from Township Officers and the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The instructors use films, lectures, coloring books, traffic signs and signals, along with stressing vehicle and bus safety during their time with the students.
All classroom sessions will be held at Bellefontaine Elementary School located at 1101 Ludlow Rd. Classes last approximately two hours and are held Monday through Friday with both 9:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. sessions available. Parents may attend sessions with their children as needed or desired and should inform the instructor of their intent when signing in their child each day.
This year the Safety Town Program will be held on the following weeks:
June 2, 2025, June 9,2025, June 16, 2025, and June23, 2025
(No sessions will be held 6/19 due to the Federal Holidays.)
(Additional week will be added if needed)
The program is open to children who will be entering kindergarten in the Fall 25-26 school year and each child is welcome to attend this free Safety Program. We have partnered with the Bellefontaine Parks Department to make registering your child for Safety Town more convenient. Simply go to www.BellefontaineParks.com to sign your child/children up. If you have previously set up an account on the website you do NOT need to set up a new account, use your existing account (you may call the Parks office at (937) 592-3475 for assistance with passwords). By signing up on the Parks website, you will be able to register for the session of your choice.
The classes are available for all Logan County pre-kindergarten students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Parks office at parks@ci.bellefontaine.oh.us or (937)592-3475.
Today, at 11:05, crews were dispatched to 1475 W. Sandusky Ave. (AGC Automotive) for a fire alarm activation. Upon arrival, heavy smoke was noted coming from open roof hatches.
AGC personnel quickly directed arriving crews to the location of the fire. A fire was noted, in a pit area, underneath a piece of machinery that had been slated for scrap and was being dismantled. The fire was contained to the pit area by a working sprinkler system.
"Situation contained" was marked at 11:44. All AGC personnel had evacuated safely.
No injuries were reported.
Thank you to Huntsville Volunteer Fire Department, Ohio and Richland Twp Vol Fire Dept for providing a mutual aid medic and engines.
Join us in congratulating FFs Brandon Stevens, Steven Major, Aidan Smith, Chase Myers, and Erica DeJarnette for celebrating work anniversaries in February.
Congratulations, lady and gentlemen, and thank you for your service!
