Beginning on today, May 4, 2026, the Langford Fire Department will begin our annual hydrant flow testing. This test will cover the areas along Baker Lane and Vine Dr.

Testing will be performed between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Weather permitting, the testing process should take approximately two to four weeks to complete.

Hydrant testing is a requirement set forth by the Mississippi State Rating Bureau (MSRB) for the Langford Fire Department to maintain its current ISO protection class awarded by the MSRB, as well as to ensure that all hydrants are functioning properly and supplying an adequate water supply in case of a fire in the area. If hydrants are not flow tested annually, this could cause an increase in the current ISO protection class, therefore increasing insurance rates for the area.

After a hydrant is flow tested, nearby residences may notice a slight discoloration to their water. This discoloration does not pose a health hazard and is caused by sediment that has rested within the water lines. If discoloration of water is present, we ask you run your faucet for a few seconds and water clarity should return immediately. Also, before washing clothes, run your washing machine on an empty cycle to flush discolored water from line to washer.

Tonight members of Langford trained on more advanced pump operations as well as hose loads and deployment ("stretching"). These skills ensure every firefighter has crucial skills needed to perform fire attack and fire ground operations with efficiency and using muscle memory. At the end, members prepped the training ground for Saturday's auto extrication field day with a special challenge. These members showed their dedication to the task. Our community is safer because they serve.

🚫 Burn Ban Extended in Rankin County 🚫

Rankin County officials have extended the burn ban through May 1st, or until weather conditions improve.

✔️ Contractors who follow MDEQ guidelines are still permitted to burn.
❗ All other restrictions remain in place.

We know the recent rain brought some relief, but unfortunately, it was not enough to reduce the ongoing deficit.

🙏 We ask for your continued cooperation—please refrain from all non-approved burning activities.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe! 🔥🚒
