Life-Saving History Made! 🩸🚑

We are incredibly proud to share a major milestone achieved by one of our own! Former Belle firefighter Lauren Sparks—daughter of active Belle firefighter Scott Sparks—recently made history with KCEAA by leading their very first in-field blood transfusion.

Serving as Paramedic Captain, Lauren delivered this critical, life-saving care while assisting a neighboring county, proving just how vital prehospital advanced medicine is when every second counts.

Please join us in celebrating Captain Lauren Sparks on this phenomenal achievement and thanking her for her dedicated service to our surrounding communities!

🚨 FLOOD ALERT / ROAD CLOSURE 🚨

Be advised: The Belle underpass is currently flooded.

Do not attempt to drive through standing water, regardless of how shallow it may look. It only takes a few inches of moving water to carry a vehicle away, and hidden hazards like washed-out roads or submerged debris can be lurking underneath.

Turn around, don’t drown! Find an alternate route and stay safe out there.

🚨 TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN! 🚨

With wet weather and potential flooding in our area, your safety is our top priority. Please remember these vital driving safety tips:

🌊 Never drive through flooded roads: Water depth and the condition of the road beneath can be deceptive. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you off your feet, and 12 inches can sweep away a small car.

🚫 Respect road closures: Barricades are put up for your protection. Do not drive around them or move them.

🌙 Be extra cautious at night: Flood hazards are much harder to spot in the dark.

If you come across a flooded roadway, turn around and find an alternate route. If you ever become trapped in rising water, call 911 immediately.

Stay safe, stay vigilant, and help keep our community protected!
