WEATHER UPDATE | AUGUST 20, 2026 | 2:45 PM

Caroline County could see heavy rain and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with the greatest concern being the potential for flash flooding. Rainfall could be heavy at times, with some areas seeing several inches in a short period.

Thunderstorms may also bring strong winds, lightning, hail, power outages and the possibility of a tornado.

Conditions can change quickly, so please keep an eye on the weather and have a way to receive alerts through this evening.

Today, we had the privilege of honoring members of the Caroline County Detention Center with a Lifesaving Award for their actions during a medical emergency involving an inmate.

When an emergency happens inside a correctional facility, quick thinking, decisive action, and teamwork can make all the difference. These Correctional Officers recognized the seriousness of the situation, took immediate action, and provided critical assistance until EMS arrived.

Because of their efforts, this inmate was given the best possible chance for a positive outcome.

We are proud to recognize these officers for going above and beyond their duties and demonstrating that every life matters and every second counts.

Please join us in congratulating these deserving members of the Caroline County Detention Center for their lifesaving actions. Thank you for answering the call when it mattered most! 👏🚑

DENTON — The Caroline County Commissioners and the Department of Emergency Services honored correctional officers for resuscitating an inmate who had a medical emergency in late July.

Earlier today, we had a great time at the Caroline-Dorchester Fair sharing kid safety tips with families alongside our friend Ollie Otter and promoting the new Buckle Up campaign! 🚑🦦💙

If you missed us at the fair, don't worry—you'll have another opportunity to stop by and see us at Caroline Summerfest! Come say hello, learn some important child safety tips, and pick up information on keeping your family safe at home and on the road.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This quarter, the Caroline County Department of Emergency Services proudly celebrated two incredible career milestones within our team!

🎉 Communications Chief Steve Hurlock recently marked 20 years of service with Caroline County. Steve began his career as a 911 Specialist and has grown into the leadership role he holds today. Over the past two decades, he has helped guide our Communications Division through countless changes, always remaining committed to serving our community and supporting our first responders.

🎉 Office Manager Kelli Schanken celebrated an amazing 30 years with Caroline County! Kelli started her career as an intern—and thankfully, she never left. As the backbone of our organization, Kelli keeps everything running behind the scenes. Her dedication, knowledge, and unwavering support make it possible for the rest of us to do what we do every day.

Please join us in congratulating Steve and Kelli on these remarkable milestones and thanking them for their years of dedicated service to Caroline County and the Department of Emergency Services. Here's to many more years of success!

Congratulations, Steve and Kelli! 🎉

Last night was National Night Out, and we were excited to be part of the events in Federalsburg and Ridgely. Unfortunately, emergency calls kept our crews busy, and we weren't able to participate as much as we had hoped.

Even so, PM11 was able to take a quick break to stop by the Federalsburg event and capture this great photo before being called back into service.

We are always grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community and our public safety partners. While we enjoy these events, our first priority is answering the call when someone needs us.

A special thank you to Paramedic Becky Morris and EMT-B Troy Tilghman for grabbing this photo for us before heading back out to serve the community. Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed!
