Safety Announcement!!

At 8:00pm Hurley is still experiencing moderate to high flooding on a majority of main roads and side roads. The Knox Creek Fire Department has already been dispatched to a mudslide and a tree down with more calls to service expected throughout the night. We strongly recommend all community members to use extreme caution while driving due to high water and gravel run off from residential driveways causing large makeshift speed bumps. As always if you don’t need to travel, then please don’t. 

Please share so more community members can get timely and accurate information.

We understand that we have a hard working community whether at home or at work so we feel it is necessary to make sure our community is well informed and knowledgeable about the different hazards related to the current heat wave we are experiencing. We recommend all community members to stay cool and stay hydrated while performing tasks around the house or at work. Here are some signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion. If you or a family member is experiencing any of these signs after being exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time, please call 911 immediately.
