Recent observed precipitation data shows parts of Butler County remain well below normal for rainfall.

Even where some rain has fallen, dry vegetation can still ignite quickly and fences don’t stop wildfire. A small spark can spread fast across grass, fields, road ditches, and property lines.

Please use extra caution outdoors:
• Use extra caution when grilling or doing any spark or flame producing work outside.
• Double check trailer safety chains so they are not dragging on roadways.
• Properly dispose of smoking materials. Never toss them from a vehicle or onto the ground.

Help protect your home, your neighbors, and our first responders. If you see smoke or fire, call 911 immediately.

Check out the map below - but make sure you click on "Butler."

We have an exciting announcement to share! Your Andover firefighters have received new self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), an essential safety upgrade that helps protect them while they protect our community.

Thanks to a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant, the City of Andover received approximately $315,000 toward the roughly $381,000 purchase. These new units replace equipment that had been in service since 2012.

Reliable SCBA equipment is critical. Firefighters cannot safely operate in smoke and hazardous environments without it. Thank you!
