Please stay off roadways if possible. Road crews are actively working on main roads, and secondary roads are currently nearly impassable.

We are experiencing multiple vehicles becoming stalled in the middle of roadways, creating dangerous conditions and preventing crews from doing their jobs safely.

If you can stay home, please do so.
If travel is absolutely necessary, it is strongly recommended that you use a four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle.

Your cooperation helps keep everyone safe and allows emergency and road crews to continue their work efficiently. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you,
Shane Grissom
New Madrid Fire Chief

In anticipation of extremely cold temperatures in the coming days, the New Madrid Fire Department advises residents to exercise heightened caution to ensure safety and prevent fires.

Freezing weather conditions may cause pipes to freeze, and if thawing is necessary, residents are urged to use approved and safe methods with extreme caution. Portable heaters should not be placed under crawl spaces due to the high risk of fire.

The use of space heaters is strongly discouraged; however, if utilized, they must be plugged directly into wall outlets, equipped with tip-over safety shutoff switches, and never left unattended.

When using gas heat, ensure the presence of a functioning carbon monoxide detector. In cases of power outages, generators should be placed outdoors in well-ventilated areas and properly connected to prevent backfeeding, which poses a significant risk to utility workers.

Warming shelters will be available if necessary. Residents are cautioned against using ovens, stoves, or other household items not designed for heating homes. The safety of residents is the top priority.

For concerns or questions, please contact the department.

Stay safe,
Fire Chief Shane Grissom,
New Madrid Fire Department.
