Cassville Fire Protection District

06/08/2026

Multiple roadways within the Cassville District are flooded and impassable. As we are surveying the area we are seeing multiple people try to avoid barricades and proceed through flooded waters.

If there is water over the road, please do not try to proceed through it. It only takes a small amount of flowing water to push a vehicle off the roadway.

There has already been one water rescue this morning due to a vehicle stuck in flood waters.

Turn around, don’t drown.

The good news just keeps on coming for members of CFD this week.

In addition to the certifications of Driver/Operator: Core and Live Fire Instructor we shared earlier this week, FF Jeremy Thomas has been informed he has also received his certification for Driver Operator: Pumper.

D/O: Pumper dives into the tiny details of operating a fire apparatus at a fire scene, including calculating things such as how much water is needed, how much pressure is needed for a fire hose, and much more.

Congratulations Jeremy, keep up the good work!
