FIRE DEPARTMENT Ozark Fire and Rescue Dedication to Serve; Willingness to help Ozark Fire Department ofd@ozarkal.gov P. O. Box 1987 275 N. Union Ave. Ozark, Alabama 36361 Station 3 Dowling Fire Station Chancey Fire Station For emergency call 911 Non Emergency call: 334-774-5111 or 774-5112 The Ozark Fire Department responds to an average of 1800 calls per year, ranging from the smell of smoke to fully involved structure fires, medical emergencies of all types, and motor vehicle collisions. The firefighters working for the City of Ozark stand ready to serve both the residents and the community in any way possible. Our goal is to serve the public diligently in all ways with an emphasis on response, training, and education. The City of Ozark currently staffs 49 professional firefighters and paramedics. These personnel staff four companies and three stations located throughout the city 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Three of these four companies are Paramedic Engine companies and provide a rapid response for both fire and medical calls throughout the city. The fourth company is a Ladder Company strategically located to provide rapid response to fire calls and motor vehicle collisions. This placement of resources provides constant service for the residents, businesses, and visitors at all times. SOLID, MASONRY, OR BRICK-TYPE FIREPLACES FUEL: Use dry, seasoned wood only. DO NOT burn trash (cardboard, newspaper, etc.). DO NOT overload (particularly with manufactured fire logs). When using manufactured fire logs, follow directions from the manufacturer. IGNITING: Double-check the damper to make certain it is open. MAINTENANCE: Check mortar around the chimney for excessive soot buildup (do this monthly if the fireplace is used continuously, every three to six months if used periodically). For repairs, check the yellow pages under Chimney Repairs and Builders. For cleaning, check the yellow pages under Chimney Cleaning. SCREENING: Select a proper-fitting screen or an approved glass cover to keep sparks and embers from leaving the firebox. METAL FIREPLACES (Freestanding, cone-type "Franklin," wood-burning stoves, etc.) INSTALLATION: Follow in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. FUEL: Use dry, seasoned wood only. DO NOT burn trash (cardboard, newspapers, etc.). Warning: DO NOT overload (when using manufactured logs, select smaller type). MAINTENANCE: Check inside of the chimney for excessive soot buildup (do this monthly if the fireplace is used continuously, every three to six months if used periodically). Check joints in the chimney to make certain they have not slipped or pulled apart. For repairs, check your yellow pages. Ashes To Ash Disposal Several times during the year, fire companies from your fire district will respond to fires in garages and backyard sheds. In many of these cases, the investigator first looks for and finds a container used to store ashes as the cause of the fire. In some cases, grocery bags are used; in others, plastic buckets or plastic trash cans. Sometimes all that is left is a little puddle of plastic the size of a silver dollar under the area of heaviest damage. These losses are NEEDLESS. Using the correct container is a surefire cure for ash disposal fires. Grocery bags will in many cases ignite just a few hours after they have been filled with ashes and stored in the garage. Cold ashes many times conceal hot embers within. These embers can smolder for days. When they come in contact with the bag, fire results. Plastic trash containers are absolutely no good for ash removal. Even if the plastic trash can is lidded, the hot embers touch the side of the container, melt through, let in air, and when the air mixes with the melted plastic, a very hot fire quickly results. Use a metal container with a lid! Place your ashes in the container, lid it, and place it away from walls, papers, and other flammables. Let it sit for a week at least before you dispose of it. In many cases, hot ashes dumped on a compost heap will start a fire with the first gust of wind. Give your ashes time to cool and dispose of them safely. LISTED APPLIANCES A metal tag on the appliance indicates whether it is listed. A listed stove has been certified by an approved testing agency as complying with nationally recognized safety standards. They must be installed according to the manufacturer's directions. We recommend the purchase of a listed appliance. During the past several winter seasons, fire officials have noted a continued frequency of home fires caused by solid-fuel-burning appliances. In each of these fires, it has been clearly established that the cause was either from improper installation, improper use, or lack of proper maintenance. By following a few simple rules, each of these fires could have been prevented. Homeowners are urged to take the time and follow certain precautions when using solid-fuel-burning appliances in their homes. WOOD STOVES For several years homeowners have been purchasing wood-burning appliances in record numbers to reduce rising heating costs and conserve energy. Fire officials continue to notice serious problems with regard to fire incidents caused by improper installation, use, and maintenance of appliances used to burn solid fuels in their homes. Classified under such appliances are brick fireplaces, metal fireplaces, wall-hung fireplaces, freestanding fireplaces, "Franklin-type" fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. Christmas Tree Fire Hazards Water That Tree! What's a holiday party or even the traditional Christmas morning scene itself without a beautifully decorated tree? If your household, as those of more than 33 million other American homes, includes a natural tree in its festivities, take to heart the sales person's suggestion—"Keep the tree watered." That's good advice and not just to create a fragrant indoor winter wonderland atmosphere. Christmas trees account for 250 fires annually, resulting in 14 deaths, 26 injuries and more than $13.8 million in property damage. Typically shorts in electrical lights or open flames from candles, lighters or matches start tree fires. Well-watered trees are not a problem, dry and neglected trees can be. The fall and winter seasons bring the annual need to prepare for the onset of cold weather. In making preparations, your local fire department would like to point out a few timely reminders to assure a trouble-free season. Like the Ozark Fire Department on Facebook Fire Department Services Fire Suppression and EMS Fire Reports Prefire Planning Free Pressure Screening Fire Station Tours Fire Extinguisher Training Community Education To obtain a burn permit, call (334) 774-5111. Central Dispatch will dispatch an engine company to your location to inspect your burn site. At that time, a fire officer will issue the resident a burn permit. Fire Prevention In addition to our emergency response activities, the Fire Department provides several fire and prevention/education programs. In recent years several lives have been saved as a result of elementary school children having the chance to learn how to evacuate a burning structure. This is not only a classroom lecture as in years past but is also demonstrated to and experienced by each child through the use of the LITTLE PEOPLE'S FIRE SAFETY HOUSE. This portable classroom is taken to each school allowing children to see firsthand how smoke reacts inside a structure and how they should respond to help save their life. Since fires are considered to be the number one cause of death to children under the age of 15, we revised our standard fire prevention curriculum to include prevention. This new curriculum developed by NFPA and the National Child Safety Council is taught all year long in grades 1-5. Most fires occur in the middle of the night, usually while people are asleep. Elderly residents and those living in rural households are especially at risk, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's U.S. Fire Administration. Fire Safety Tips to Remember Install a smoke detector on each level of your home. Do not disable a smoke detector when it sounds off. Know what to do when the smoke detector sounds off. Plan a home escape route in the event of a fire. Smoke detectors are inexpensive to buy. Many brands are available in a price range from $5 to $20. Smoke detectors can be purchased at your local hardware or home center store, and in many leading discount and department stores. Smoke detectors should be tested at least once a month. The batteries should be replaced at least twice a year when you change your clocks. Smoke detectors provide early warning, increasing your chances of survival and allowing additional time for the fire department to save your property. ...

UTILITIES BOARD The Utilities Board provides quality drinking water and sanitary sewer service for Ozark, Alabama’s 15,000 residents. The Board serves approximately 6,706 water users and 4,933 sewer users. Our staff of 20 dedicated professionals provides quality service to our customers, pumping approximately 2.38 million gallons of water each day from 8 deep wells and treating an average of 1.46 million gallons a day of sewage at our two wastewater treatment facilities. In 2001 the Utilities Board made a commitment to Ozark’s future by adopting a long-range 30-year Capital Improvements Plan to upgrade the public water supply system and extend and upgrade the sanitary sewer system. This plan is ahead of schedule and as of 2023 has cost approximately $ 18 million. Some of the achievements are listed below: We have added sewage availability to 391 homes, an increase of 7%. The shift to radio-read water meters in 2007 allowed a staff reduction of two employees thru attrition which saved $ 1 million over 10 years. The $2.2-million Tuscaloosa aquifer well at Post Oak has the capacity to supply more than 50% of our daily usage and will allow Ozark to double in population without the need for additional water resources. Converting our water and sewer mapping to GIS at a cost of $165,000 allows us to quickly locate our pipelines in most cases. The Utilities Board has cleared over 100 miles of sewer right of ways at a cost of over $500,000. This allows us to monitor our system in remote areas to be proactive in preventing sewer overflows. Herbicide is sprayed each year to prevent overgrowth from reoccurring. In 2013 the Board completed a $5-million bond issue to fund three improvement projects. Southside WWTP on Hwy. 123 south is 30 years old, and while the plant is operating at only 60% capacity, the operational equipment has reached its life expectancy. J&P construction began replacing the equipment in October 2013 at a cost of $ 2.2 million. On the second project, we replaced about 13,000 feet of galvanized 2-inch water mains with 4-inch PVC mains at a cost of $500,000. The old galvanized mains had become corroded and frequent leaks were badly damaging the streets in those areas. Now the city will be able to resurface those streets without fearing reoccurring damage. The third project was a $2.3 million sewer rehabilitation project. In 2018, The Board replaced $1.75 million in water and sewer mains. In 2021 the Board received $2.0 million from a bond issue and will continue to upgrade additional water and sewer system mains. Since 2000 our budget has grown from $ 2.1 million to $ 5.1 million but through careful planning, Ozark’s water and sewer rates are below the average cost in Alabama for 5,000 gallons used per month. Our cost for 5,000 gals. of water and sewer is $57 .63 compared to the state average of $60.15. AWPCA awarded the Utilities Board the Best Operated Water System for the 10th time in 18 years in 2018. We have won the Best Operated wastewater plant 7 times. Awarded the AMIC Risk Management Gold Award 8 times, Silver Award 2 times, and the Bronze Award 1 time since 2005 when we began service with AMIC. The Utilities Board has had only 2 loss-time accidents in the past 15 years. Developers, you can now access the Board’s water and sewer specifications on this website.

BACK TO HOME THE UTILITIES BOARD OF THE CITY OF OZARK SEWER LATERAL POLICY CLARIFICATION There have been some questions about the policy the Utilities Board has pertaining to the sewer lateral connecting our customers' homes and businesses to the sewer main. Our policy has been part of the Sewer Ordinance established by the City Council since May 1997. Before that time, it was considered standard practice in the sewer collection industry. Widely accepted and practiced by multiple Utilities. Its intent is to encourage the property owner to maintain their laterals in good working order. Under the city ordinance (No. 97-5) REGULATION OF SEWER USE, Article IV BUILDING SEWERS AND CONNECTIONS, Section 14. Signed May 22, 1997, reads as follows: "Maintenance of building sewers shall be the responsibility and duty of each property owner and/or user who is presently connected to the public sewer system or may become connected to the public sewer system hereafter to properly maintain all lines, pipes, and equipment connected to or interacting, in any way with the public sewer system so as to prevent infiltration and/or inflow into said system." It is the policy of the Ozark Utilities Board that the sewer lateral belongs to the customer and the customer only. If there is a blockage in the customer lateral it is their responsibility to correct it all the way to the main. Any replacement of the lateral is also the customer's responsibility. However, if replacement is required in the street, the Utilities Board will gladly supply the workforce needed to work in the street.
