The City of Belpre would like to thank all the first responders from Belpre, Little Hocking, Dunham and Warren volunteer fire departments for their outstanding work today during a devastating explosion. We are fortunate no injuries occurred.
We also appreciate the support of City of Belpre EMS, the Belpre Police Dept, Washington Co Sheriffs Office, and the Ohio State Patrol. The Marietta Memorial Hospital ER for their preparation in case of potential injury and WVU medicine for providing additional coverage for other emergencies during this time.
Thank you to the other local Mayors for reaching out offering support for any other needs and all the citizens dropping off food for the fire fighters.
It’s incredible seeing such team work, collaboration and caring by our community. Thank you again. We truly appreciate everyone. I am sorry if I missed anyone. ... See MoreSee Less

Let's all be reminded that under Belpre City Ordinance 521.15:
BLOWING GRASS, WEEDS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES INTO CITY STREETS IS PROHIBITED.
The vegetation clogs the storm drain which is expensive to keep clear and flush. The debris in the roadway can also be dangerous to cyclist and motorists.
Here's how you can help: • Leave grass clippings on the lawn (they’re good fertilizer) • Mow away from the pavement • Sweep or blow clippings back onto the lawn • Make compost! Mix grass clippings with leaves and soil • Keep leaves off the street
If you have any questions or concerns about how you can help keep the storm drains clear, please contact me.
