FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANN ROAD FIRE

On Saturday afternoon at 1440, Ohio Township Fire Department along with multiple mutual aid departments responded to multiple reports of a large structure fire at 5622 Vann Road, while enroute the fire was upgraded to a 2nd Alarm based on the numerous 911 calls and a visible smoke column. First arriving apparatus found an approximately 100’ X 100’ exterior fire involving numerous hazardous materials. The alarm was further upgraded to request a full hazardous materials team response from the Evansville Fire Department. Incident Command confirmed with staff on site that all employees had exited the structure and no injuries had occurred.

Crews on scene immediately started monitoring for hazardous materials. Incident Command with assistance from Warrick County Emergency Management established shelter-in-place orders; with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security Watch Desk issuing IPAWS Alerts for those areas affected. Warrick County Dispatch also issued information and updates through social media and other outlets. Crews also began the process of identifying the hazardous materials involved in the fire. The facility has numerous hazardous materials on site; though not all of the hazardous materials on site were involved in the fire. Indiana Department of Enviornmental Management arrived on scene and began an assessment of the site and incident. IDEM was assisted by the Division of Air Quality from the State of Kentucky. This included air monitoring throughout the area designated within the shelter-in-place order.

Priority on scene was the safety and well-being of the public; as weather conditions dictated the shelter-in-place order was adjusted. Additional initial operations included protection of exposures from the fire, the identification of hazardous materials involved in fire and stopping the spread of a brush fire moving towards other structures. It was determined that combustible metals and additional hazardous materials were involved in the fire. IDEM and EPA are in the process of analyzing those additional hazardous materials to make positive identification. Mutiple mitigation plans were developed and implemented to extinguish the fire; at approximately 03:44 on September 7, 2025 the fire was declared extinguished.

IDEM and EPA will be on site and in those areas that were included in the shelter-in-place order to conduct assessments and analysis of the area for possible contamination. Ash fall from the smoke column in the immediate area of the incident is a possibility. If you observe any large ash or debris do not touch the ash or debris. IDEM asks that you notify local authorities so the ash or debris can be analyzed by IDEM and EPA for any hazards. If you experience ash on vehicles or other outside objects further information will be released on proper cleaning procedures for your safety once IDEM and EPA have completed their assessment. The only closure we have to report currently is Vann Road Park Lake; this is due to exposure protection operations. At this time, based on assessments and analysis there is no identified threat or hazard to the public. All shelter-in-place orders have been lifted.

Assisting agencies included: Boonville Fire Department, Evansville Fire Department, Chandler Volunteer Fire Department, Newburgh Volunteer Fire Department, Yankeetown Volunteer Fire Department, Lynnville Volunteer Fire Department, McCutchanville Fire Department, Vandenburgh County Fire Department's, Luce Fire Territory, Kaiser Fire Brigade, Warrick County EMS, Warrick County Emergency Management, Warrick County Dispatch, Warrick County Sheriff Office, Warrick County Highway Department, Tri-State Towing, Alcoa, American Red Cross, Indiana Department of Enviornmental Management, Indiana State Fire Marshal, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Division of Air Quality Kentucky and US EPA.

BREAKING: Ahead of anticipated immigration enforcement operations in Chicago this weekend, ICE has also launched ‘Patriot 2.0’ in the Boston area.

“ICE launched ‘Patriot 2.0’ to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens living in the state of Massachusetts, following the success of Operation Patriot in May,” a DHS spokesperson told me. “Sanctuary policies like those pushed by Mayor Wu not only attract and harbor criminals but also place these public safety threats above the interests of law-abiding American citizens. ICE is arresting sex offenders, pedophiles, murderers, drug dealers, and gang membersreleased by local authorities. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, nowhere is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return.”

PBA President Patrick Hendry said: “Thank god our sister is on the road to recovery, but this was a clear targeted attack on New Yorkers City police officers. This individual had no fear when he walked into a police precinct and attacked a uniformed cop — there is no telling what he might have done to innocent New Yorkers out on the street. Despite being injured, our sister pursued this individual along with her fellow police officers, and they stopped the threat before anyone else was hurt. This is another example of the extraordinary work our police officers are doing in an incredibly dangerous environment.”

VP Vance shares what he would tell his younger self before becoming Vice President:

“Just enjoy the ride because it’s been an incredible journey these last 10 years. We’ve had three kids…I became a Senator, I became a Vice President.”

California: The Garnet Fire remains active in Fresno county, California, and has grown to 36,445 acres with 14% containment. Crews continue to prep roads and build primary and contingency lines, and are finding areas that can be successful other than direct attack in the steeps.

The fire is likely to remain active on the north end due to heavy fuels and bug-killed tree stands which can produce long range spotting. The fire has been active in the morning once the nighttime inversion lifts. There are 2,052 personnel on the fire including 50 crews, 94 engines, 13 helicopters, multiple dozers, and fixed winged aircraft. Thanks to the subscriber who shared this view of the fire in rugged and steep terrain.
