Please refrain from burning today. Conditions are extremely favorable for fire and will spread quickly. If you have a fire that seems to be getting out of hand please call in sooner than later. And remember to always call in your controlled burns.

Happy Sunday! We have a red flag warning in place because we are going to be warm, dry, and breezy. IF a fire gets started outside it will spread quickly. - Meteorologist Meghan Chada

This hydrant took approximately 5 minutes to shovel out. That may not seem like much time but in a house with modern materials, can be the difference between a potential save and a complete loss. If you are able, please consider cleaning out the hydrants in your neighborhood or anywhere around town. Ourselves and your neighbors appreciate it! Thank You
