LOCKLAND, Ohio — A family’s home in Lockland was damaged by a fire Thursday morning, but first responders said the damage might not have been as bad if they could have arrived faster. Lockland Fire Chief Doug Wehmeyer said it should have taken crews 59 seconds to get from the station to a house fire on Central Avenue. Instead, firefighters spent 15 minutes trying to get around a stopped train that blocked all five crossings. Officials have cited Norfolk Southern 85 times in 90 days for blocked crossings.
