The Village of Swanton operates under the Ohio Fire Code, of which Section 101.2.2 requires inspections of commercial properties to ensure adequate fire prevention measures are in place at each business location.  To work toward and expand Fire Prevention services to our business owners, Swanton Fire and Rescue Division has developed a new Fire Safety Inspection Program effective January 1, 2022. The goal of this Program is to ensure that all businesses, occupancies, and events are safe, successful, and in accordance with Ohio Fire Code.  To meet that goal, each business in the jurisdiction of Swanton Fire and Rescue will be required to undergo regular inspections.  Due to the number of businesses impacted in this first year of the Program, to ensure there is adequate time given to each inspection, therefore inspections will occur throughout the year.

Every winter, people across the Village pull out their shovels and stock up on salt. However, there are a number of people who cannot remove the snow, from their driveways or sidewalks, on their own. For them, the snow and ice-filled winter months can be challenging which is where Snow Angels come in. Starting winter of 2021, the Village of Swanton would like to connect volunteers with, individuals who live within the Village of Swanton and may need some extra help clearing snow such as senior citizens and those with disabilities.
