marion fire department

Marion firefighters responded to a garbage truck engulfed in flames at the intersection of Front Street and Washburn Park Road Thursday afternoon.

A chemical spill at Tabor Academy, an independent school in Marion, saw students and staff evacuated for nearly three hours this morning as hazmat crews cleaned up.

He responded to and helped extinguish a chimney fire on Point Road and then returned home. He suffered what is believed to be a cardiac incident and collapsed.
