825 N. Kemp Rd Structure Fire

At approx 8:20 p.m. on Monday March 1st, American Township Fire Department was toned out for a structure fire at 825 N. Kemp Rd.  Upon arrival crews found heavy fire and inadequate water supply in the area, due to the absence of fire hydrants.  Four other departments assisted with firefighting and water supply operations, Shawnee Twp. Fire Dept., Spencerville Fire Dept., Cridersville Fire Dept. and Buckland Fire Dept. all assisted.  The fire is still being investigated by American Twp. Fire Dept and the State Fire Marshal’s Office.  Anyone having any information that would assist in the investigation is asked to contact ATFD through one of the means listed below.  We are also interested in obtaining any floor plans that anyone may have for the structure.  Thank you for any assistance that you may have to offer. All information can be kept anonymous.

Anyone with information may contact ATFD at:
