Currently jones county is not under a burn ban but we ask you to please use common sense if you choose to burn anything. Keep dead grass and leaves away from anything you don't want to burn. Don't burn if the wind is blowing strong, keep a garden hose ready if you do feel the need to burn. Thank you.

We are giving a heartfelt thank you tonight to the Key West Fire Dept for their amazing donation of a set of TNT Extrication equipment! Their Chief brought down a set of cutters, spreaders, ram, pump and two sets of hoses. This will enable us to provide much faster rescue times to those in need.

I was informed yesterday that the City of Morley will be receiving a grant of around $40,000 from the USDA. I've been working on this grant since December and it finally paid off! We will get a new warning siren that can be set off remotely from the Sheriff’s Office. A thermal imaging camera, new air tanks and a portable water basket for the fire department.

The storm is projected to reach us shortly after 6pm. Susceptible to increase or decrease in storm strength and speed. Expect very strong straightline winds and even tornadoes as well as some heavy hail. Go to your basement if you feel it's necessary or if you hear the siren sounding. Stay safe. Let us know if you need us anytime.

I have seen varying warnings of the severe weather today. They all agree it's going to be very humid and hot so protect yourself from that. Afternoon storms will most likely happen with high winds and some short but strong rain. I have seen 1 forecast predicting up to derecho strength winds. Please prepare for anything. Better to be safe than sorry. Any loose object outside can become a weapon with high enough wind speed.

Will update as the day progresses.
