⛈️⚡Last night's storm moved through our area with very little warning, bringing down numerous trees and power lines and causing damage across the Town of Farmville and surrounding areas.
From 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., the Farmville-Prince Edward Emergency Communications Center handled 86 calls for service, including 36 reports of trees down and 12 reports of wires down, along with many other emergency and routine calls.
We want to thank our Communications Officers for their hard work throughout the night. They remained calm under pressure and worked tirelessly to ensure first responders received the information they needed as calls continued to come in.
A huge thank you also goes out to the Farmville Public Works Department, our local fire and EMS agencies, law enforcement, VDOT, and Dominion Energy for their quick response and teamwork. Your dedication to serving our community does not go unnoticed.
Most importantly, thank you to our citizens for your patience as crews worked through the night to respond to emergencies and begin clearing the damage. Please continue to use caution around downed trees and power lines and report any hazards to the appropriate authorities.
We appreciate everyone’s patience, cooperation, and support as we worked through the storm and its impacts.
