Prayers for our neighboring brothers and sisters in Tippah county as they have lost one of their own.

It is with heavy hearts that we extend our thoughts and prayers to the Churchill family during this difficult time following the passing of Mr. Monroe Churchill.

Mr. Churchill dedicated his life to the fire service and his community, serving 18 years as Fire Chief of the Ecru Fire Department in Pontotoc County and 16 years as Assistant Chief. His leadership, service, and commitment to protecting others left a lasting impact on countless lives and will not be forgotten.

We lift up his son, FF Fred Churchill, who continues that legacy of service as a member of the Wenasoga Fire Department and Glen Fire Department here in Alcorn County.

Please keep the Churchill family, friends, and fellow firefighters in your prayers in the days ahead.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4

🚩 Red Flag Burn Warning 🚩

Alcorn County is currently under a Red Flag Burn Warning per National Weather Service, meaning conditions are extremely favorable for fires to start and spread rapidly.

🔥 What this means:
• Strong winds, low humidity, and dry conditions are present
• Fires can quickly get out of control—even from small sparks

⚠️ We strongly urge all residents to AVOID burning if at all possible.
If you must burn, use extreme caution and take every safety precaution necessary.

Please help us keep our community, homes, and first responders safe. A single fire can escalate quickly under these conditions.

Stay alert. Stay safe.

🔥 Keep a water source nearby
🔥 Avoid burning on windy days
🔥 Make sure all fires are completely extinguished
