Tire fire in Coitsville

Tire fire in Coitsville

CAMPBELL

Fire officials are saying the cause of a large trash and tire fire in front of 45 McCartney Road on Saturday night is suspicious.

A large column of black smoke brought attention to the blaze.

The fire was technically in Coitsville, but originally was reported to the Campbell Fire Department about 9 p.m. Coitsville and Poland fire departments assisted in extinguishing the fire that was in a large wooded area off the road near the Youngstown city limit.

No buildings were damaged, and no one was injured.

Calculate impact of tax-levy approvals

LISBON

The Columbiana County Auditor’s website now calculates property taxes based on levy measures proposed for the May 7 ballot.

Levies are proposed in Wayne Township, Sandy Creek Fire District and Beaver and Crestview school districts. If you live in any of those jurisdictions, visit the auditor’s website at http://oh-columbiana-auditor.publicaccessnow.com, enter a parcel number, and select the “parcel detail” then “levy” tabs to estimate the tax bill for that property if those proposals pass.

The website does not account for changes to the taxing district’s proposed levies, the release states.

Auditor Nancy Milliken is “providing this service in the hope that any approved levies will not be a surprise to her fellow taxpayers,” the release states.
