Welcome to the Big Walnut Joint Fire District. We are an all volunteer department located in Southern Morrow County, Ohio operating from two stations. We serve three townships and two small villages consisting of approximately 4000 residents. Our coverage area includes 12 miles of I-71 and over 230 miles of other roadways with a mixture of residential and light commercial development throughout. Our 21 member roster consists of an all volunteer force who have other full time jobs that range from career firefighter/paramedics to farmers, truck drivers, etc.  Station 39-1 is located just East of the Village of Marengo on State Route 229.  Station 39-2 is located in the Village of Chesterville on State Route 314 just South of State Route 95.  Each station houses an engine and a tanker as well as a brush truck and a rescue at station 39-1.  Morrow County EMS Squad 3 is also stationed at station 39-1 on State Route 229.  A visit to the fire station is always welcome however, please call ahead to ensure someone is there as we are all volunteer.
