You may have seen some smoke and fire trucks along Salt-Springs Road and 4-Mile Run Road in Mineral Ridge on Sunday. There was no emergency, but a rare live-fire training exercise that concluded with the burn-down of a former residence.

This is a short highlight video of what it's like to witness one of these trainings.

Thanks to McDonald Fire Chief Fred Marcum for setting up this months-long training. Special thanks to Weathersfield Fire Chief Thomas Lambert and the Weathersfield Fire Department. McDonald Fire Department, Trumbull County Water Shuttle, MCCTC Fire Instructors, Hazard Control Technologies (which supplied the F500 Encapsulator Agent), the Weathersfield Township Administration and Trustees, and John Garland and Family for donating the home to train in.

On September 18, 2026, at approximately 0913 hours, crews from the Howland Township Fire Departmentand Weathersfield Township Fire Department were dispatched to a reported possible house explosion in the 2900 block of Deforest Road in Howland Township.

Fire and law enforcement units responded to the area and subsequently located and confirmed a working structure fire in the 4000 block of Evaline Drive, within the Brentwood Trailer Park in Weathersfield Township.

Upon arrival, crews received information from bystanders indicating that the residence was possibly occupied.

Crews from both departments worked together to locate and remove the victim from the residence.

The victim was immediately transferred to the care of the on-scene EMS crew from Lane LifeTRANS and transported to a local hospital, where the victim was later pronounced deceased.

The residence sustained extensive fire damage and is considered a total loss.

The incident remains under investigation by the Ohio State Fire Marshal's Office and the Trumbull County Coroner's Office. Due to the ongoing investigation, the Weathersfield Township Fire Department is unable to release any additional information at this time.
