A warming shelter has been established at Gallatin City Hall, located at 132 West Main Street, for individuals without heat. Cots will be provided, but guests will need to bring blankets, food, and other needed items. Pets in crates are allowed. The shortest and safest path for dropping off individuals is the back door but both the front and back doors are open. Surfaces are icy and very dangerous so please use caution entering the building. Please message the city if you have any questions.

We have just cleared the scene of two back to back grass fires that were caused by lawn mowers. Please be mindful of the dry grass clippings on your mower deck that get trapped near your belts and other mower parts that cause friction and get hot. If you are burning today please be very mindful of the wind and extremely dry conditions and never leave a fire unattended.
