Small Smokey Fire at the Scott County Jail

0

On December 23, 2020, around 7:30 am, Jail Officers at the Scott County Jail began smelling smoke and then the fire alarms at the jail began sounding. 

An investigation by the officers resulted in locating a freshly washed damp stack of wash towels in an isolated hallway near the kitchen.

At this time, after watching the video, it appears the damp towels spontaneously combusted and began smoking. 

The towels were removed from the jail and the Scottsburg City Fire Department was called to examine the Jail and investigate the situation. 

As a result of the fire, a Jail Officer was transported to Scott Memorial Hospital for smoke inhalation and later released. 

No inmates were exposed to the smoke or fire.

Hoosier Guardsmen extended to assist long-term care facilities

0

Indiana National Guard soldiers and airmen will continue their mission assisting long-term care facilities across Indiana in their battle against COVID-19.

Indiana Gov. Eric J. Holcomb called upon Hoosier Guardsmen to help at the facilities in October with the first wave of troops arriving in November. He has now extended their mission until Feb. 28.

Dale Lyles, the adjutant general, speaks to Hoosier citizen-soldiers, Friday, Oct. 30, 2020, on the importance of their upcoming mission supporting long-term care facilities throughout the state.

The National Guard will continue supporting the vast majority of long-term care facilities with more than 1,000 Guardsmen. Their work includes assisting with testing, reporting test results, screening employees, and ensuring infection control practices are in place.

Protecting residents of long-term care facilities have been a priority for the state since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents of these facilities have been significantly impacted by the pandemic because they are medically fragile and at higher risk for severe complications. Approximately 58 percent of the COVID-19 deaths reported in the state have occurred among residents of these facilities.

“We live here, we work here and we serve here,” said Brig. Gen. Dale Lyles, adjutant general, and leader of the Indiana National Guard. “We are vital to the preservation of life, safety, and the welfare of the residents of long-term care facilities, and they need us to remain and continue our work. We do not want to give up the gains we’ve made prior to the vaccine taking effect.”

State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG, said the Guard’s support has brought critical relief to long-term care facilities, whose residents and staff have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Caring for our vulnerable Hoosiers isn’t just a job. It’s a calling,” Box said. “The staff in these facilities have worked tirelessly to protect these Hoosiers in an unprecedented time. The Guard’s support has helped ease their workload so that staff can keep their focus on where it most needs to be, which is the residents.”

S.R. 37 to close in Martinsville starting Jan. 2 for faster, safer I-69 construction

0
Nearly 5 miles of State Road 37 in Martinsville is scheduled to close between S.R. 39 and Morgan Street starting this Saturday, Jan. 2.

Expected to last most of 2021, the closure will allow crews to work faster and safer on I-69 Finish Line construction through Martinsville. Removing live traffic from the construction zone creates a safer environment for motorists and workers. Crews can also work faster. The full closure will allow work to be completed a full year faster than trying to maintain limited access through the work zone.

The official detour for north-south state highway traffic follows S.R. 39, S.R. 67 and S.R. 144. Long-distance traffic is encouraged to avoid the construction altogether and use alternate routes including I-65, S.R. 135 and I-70.

Several east-west roads will remain open throughout the closure to provide local access across S.R. 37. Local traffic in Morgan County is encouraged to make hands-free use of mapping apps that include real-time traffic.

What to Expect
Weather permitting, closure activity is scheduled to start with S.R. 37 southbound the morning of Saturday, Jan. 2. Law enforcement officers will direct traffic while crews change and uncover signs and install barricades. Work will continue non-stop until both directions of S.R. 37 are closed, which is anticipated to be in effect by late Saturday afternoon.

Coming into Martinsville, northbound S.R. 37 traffic will be shifted to new pavement and continue straight onto S.R. 39/Morton Avenue. The existing S.R. 37 northbound ramps at S.R. 39 will be closed for reconstruction.

Temporary State Road 44 connectionOnce S.R. 37 is closed to north-south traffic, Martinsville roads remaining open across the work zone will be restriped and the traffic signals will be removed. A portion of the existing S.R. 37 pavement will be used to provide a temporary connection for S.R. 44 to S.R. 252/Hospital Drive. During this first phase of construction, Reuben Drive will be closed west of S.R. 37 for interchange construction.

According to the Indiana State Department of Health, there were 202 people tested for Covid-19 at the Washington County Fairgrounds site from Dec. 22-26.

Washington County is currently designated as a “Red” county with the highest rate of spread of the coronavirus. 

The site was closed Friday for the Christmas holiday. 

This was the only free testing site held in Washington County since the pandemic began earlier this year. 

The ISDH said it didn’t know if future testing clinics would be held. 

ISDH statistics show there have been 7,249 people tested in Washington County since March. 

Of that total, 1,375 have been tested so far in December. 

As of Saturday, there have been 1372 Cases and 15 deaths since March. 

There are two medical facilities with testing capabilities in Washington County, along with the local hospital. Two pharmacies have been testing for Covid as well – all for a fee. 

However, the only free sites for Covid testing are in Lawrence, Scott, Harrison, Jennings, Clark, Floyd, and Jackson Counties.

Residents in Washington County and Orange County have had to go outside the county to get tested for free.
