🚨 HIGH WILDFIRE RISK: PLEASE NO BURNING TOMORROW 🚨

A critical combination of dry air, near-record high temperatures, and gusty winds driven by the outer flow of is creating a high-risk, significant fire potential across Mississippi starting Friday.

🚫 18 Counties Under Active Burn Bans: 18 counties across the state already have mandatory burn bans, and outdoor burning is strictly prohibited.
🪵 Critically Dry Fuels: Vegetation statewide is extremely dry and primed to burn rapidly.
💧Plummeting Humidity: Relative humidity (RH) will plummet into the 20s across most areas.
🍃Strong Winds: Gusts will reach 15–20 mph in the north and up to 20–35 mph closer to the coast, meaning any spark can instantly escalate into an uncontrollable wildfire.

Please do not burn! 🚫🔥Debris burning, fire pits, and open flames are dangerous and heavily restricted. Even outside of current ban zones, dry conditions mean one stray ember can travel up to half a mile and threaten homes, forests, and entire communities.

Please keep our communities and first responders safe. Postpone all outdoor burning until weather conditions improve! 🌲

🚒 NEW EXTRICATION EQUIPMENT — MANTACHIE FIRE & RESCUE 🚒

Tonight, members of the Mantachie Fire Department spent time training with our brand-new extrication equipment.

This equipment is a major addition to our department and, more importantly, another step forward in our ability to protect and serve the Town of Mantachie and our surrounding community.

During serious vehicle accidents, every minute matters. Having modern extrication equipment allows our firefighters to work more efficiently when someone is trapped or injured inside a vehicle. The faster we can safely gain access to a patient, the faster they can receive the medical care they need.

But having the equipment is only part of the equation. Training matters. Tonight, our members worked hands-on with the new tools so that when the call comes, we are prepared to use them safely, quickly, and effectively.

We hope we never have to use this equipment to save the life of one of our neighbors, friends, or family members — but if that day comes, we want to be ready.

We are extremely thankful for the continued support of our town and community that helps us improve the equipment, training, and capabilities of our department.

Better equipment. Better training. Better prepared to serve Mantachie.

Proud to serve the community we call home.
