With the heavy downpour of rain roadways may be under water. Please use caution if you’re out driving in these conditions. As always if you have an emergency call 911 and make sure you know where you’re at or at least as close as possible so emergency personnel can find you.

It’s foggy out this morning, so remember:

-Headlights on (low beams)
-Just because you have automatic headlights doesn’t mean they’re on during the daytime fog
-if your vehicle has daytime running lights, your taillights aren’t automatically on.

-Allow extra time when traveling

-Give extra space when following vehicles

-don’t pass unless it is safe to do so, just because there are dotted lines on the road doesn’t mean it’s safe if you can’t see.

🔥 Wildland Fire Response 🔥

Last night at approximately 8:15 PM, units were dispatched to a lightning-caused fire on the south end of the county.

Crews from Stations 1 and 2 responded to the incident, while a unit from the North Station backfilled Station 1 to maintain coverage. Responding crews were able to quickly contain and extinguish the fire and remained on scene to locate and extinguish remaining hot spots.

Conditions are extremely dry right now, and fires can spread rapidly in the heat and dry vegetation.

If you see smoke, please don’t assume someone else has reported it—call it in. Early notification can make a significant difference in keeping a small fire from becoming a much larger incident.

Thank you to all responding crews for their quick work and continued dedication to keeping our county safe. 🚒🔥

With these hot temperatures causing possible issues for anyone working outside, it also means everything is drying up just that much more. Please be cautious about ANY type of burning, grilling or welding outside. If you see smoke call it in. Be safe in the heat make sure you’re drinking water and taking breaks so you do not experience heat exhaustion.

Dangerously hot temperatures are expected Monday afternoon, the anticipated peak of the incoming heatwave. Air temperatures of 105 to 110 will be common, with some locations as hot as 112-113. Rapid onset of heat-related illness is possible for those working outdoors Monday afternoon.

Please Use Extra Caution. Due to the Main Street closure, emergency vehicles will be using side streets to access Highway 50 and Highway 25. These routes have reduced visibility compared to our normal response routes. Please slow down, stay alert at intersections, and be prepared to yield to emergency vehicles. A few extra seconds of attention can make a big difference in helping us respond safely and efficiently to those in need. Thank you for your cooperation.
