| Current forecasts indicate the potential for another round of strong to severe storms later today. Now is the time to prepare...not when the warnings are issued.
Please remember: Last night's heavy rain has left the ground saturated, making trees more susceptible to falling. Additional heavy rain and strong winds could bring down more trees, limbs, and power lines. Charge your phones and essential devices now. Locate flashlights and fresh batteries. Avoid parking under large trees if possible.
Behind the scenes, Pioneer Fire Company is actively preparing by increasing staffing and ensuring our equipment and personnel are ready to respond should the need arise.
We hope these preparations won't be necessary, but we'd much rather be prepared than caught off guard.
Please stay safe, look out for your neighbors, and avoid unnecessary travel if severe weather moves into the area. |
