Please do not burn anything over the next couple of days. Call 911 immediately to report any fires as they will spread very quickly.

A Fire Watch has been issued for Mayes County. This week is not a good week to plan any outdoor burning but Thursday will be especially dangerous. The forecast is expecting winds to 30 mph and humidity near 15%. The humidity is very low for Eastern Oklahoma and will cause very aggressive fire behavior. Expect a Red Flag Warning for Mayes County Thursday and please do your part to keep a wildfire from being a disaster.

Turn around, don’t drown….
Please do not put your life or ours at risk by driving around barriers and into flooded areas. We have several roads in the county that are flooded. Given the amount of rain we have already received, additional roads will flood fast with this next round of storms. Do not assume that the water isn’t deep. It doesn’t take much water to sweep a vehicle off the roadway and you cannot tell if the road or culverts have been washed out. It’s simply not worth the risk.
