🔥 WEEKEND FIRE DANGER — UPSHUR COUNTY 🔥

Fire prevention is especially important this weekend.

Hot temperatures, continued dry weather and increasingly dry vegetation are creating an environment where a small fire can become a much larger problem very quickly.

Temperatures are expected to approach 100°F again this weekend, with little to no rainfall expected. Even where winds are not particularly strong, our fuels have been exposed to repeated days of heat and drying. Grass, pine needles, leaf litter and other fine fuels can ignite easily and allow fire to spread before firefighters arrive.

This is not the weekend to get careless with fire.

Please avoid unnecessary outdoor burning. Be extremely careful with welding, cutting, grinding, mowing and equipment that can produce sparks. Secure trailer chains so they cannot drag the roadway, and never park a hot vehicle or equipment over dry grass.

If a fire does start, call 911 immediately. Don't wait to see if you can handle it yourself. Early reporting gives local fire departments the best opportunity to catch a fire while it is still small.

For our firefighters: expect the possibility of active fire behavior and extended mop-up. Watch the weather, watch your fuels, stay hydrated and make sure apparatus is ready before the call comes in.

One preventable spark can turn into acres burned.

Please help us protect Upshur County this weekend. Fire prevention starts with all of us.

🇺🇸 HONORING THE FALLEN — 25 YEARS LATER 🇺🇸

Please join Harmony VFD on Saturday, September 12, at 7:00 p.m. for a commemorative stair climb at the Harmony High School Football Field as we honor the 343 firefighters and all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

Following the stair climb, everyone is invited to join us for dinner at the Harmony Fire Station, located at 1189 Jaguar Road in Big Sandy.

Whether you participate in the climb or simply come to show your support, we invite our community to stand with us as we remember their courage, sacrifice, and service.

We climb because they climbed. We remember because they gave everything.

🇺🇸 Never Forget.
