The Lapel Stony Creek Township Fire Territory wants to remind residents and business owners that all fire hydrants in the Town of Lapel are currently out of service due to the Town of Lapel Water Tower being offline. Despite this, Fire Chief Jason Renner assures the community that the Fire Territory is fully prepared and operating at full emergency response capacity.
“We’ve been working closely with the Town of Lapel, surrounding fire departments, Madison County Central Dispatch, and local property owners from the start to ensure we’re ready for any emergency that may arise,” Chief Renner stated. The Fire Territory has implemented comprehensive plans and resources to maintain uninterrupted fire protection throughout the town, including coordinating with neighboring departments and utilizing alternative water sources.

Chief Renner emphasized that the safety of Lapel’s residents, their property, and the community remains the top priority. “We’ve taken every possible measure to ensure our firefighters can respond effectively and without interruption,” he said. To minimize fire risk and ensure community safety during this period of limited hydrant availability, a Town-wide local burn ban remains in effect until the water tower is fully operational and the hydrant system is restored.
This ban prohibits all open burning, including burning brush, leaves, trash, or recreational fires. The Lapel Stony Creek Township Fire Territory will continue to closely monitor the situation and keep the public informed as updates become available. The department appreciates the community’s understanding, patience, and cooperation during this time.
