We really enjoyed getting to hang out Sunday and show off our rescue equipment during the EMS event. We definitely think there were several future firefighters that visited!

We had a blast at Blessing's Transportation Rally today. The weather was perfect and there were so many kids excited to see all the different vehicles. Thanks for the invite!

During Community College Month, we’re proud to spotlight our alumni—leaders, workers, and neighbors who choose to stay, give back, and strengthen the communities that shaped them. Today we spotlight Casey Otten, Tri-Township Fire Department Lieutenant and JWCC Fire Science Instructor.

DRY CONDITIONS: The New Canton Fire Protection District over in Pike County, Illinois issued a burn ban this afternoon. Many areas are warning you not to do any burning right now, and we've seen some controlled burns get out of hand this week, so better safe than sorry!

This storm is a MONSTER. The south will be shut down for days. Many won't have power for an extended period of time. Temps will be cold with no big warm-ups coming until February. That's not hype, this is reality. IL got lucky to be on the snow side.

The sheer scale of this event is absolutely incredible. 15 states have declared state of emergencies in preparation for this event. Let's list off this storm's impacts:

-Crippling Ice: This storm will bring damaging Ice to much of the mid-south stretching from Texas where a widespread 1/4-1/2" is expected leading to icy roads in some of the largest cities including Dallas and San Antonio. This Ice will stretch into northern Louisiana, Arkansas and western Mississippi where a devastating 3/4-1.5" is forecasted. This will lead to WIDESPREAD tree damage, bringing down tens of thousands of trees likely and taking out power to a significant number. Ice will stretch east into Tennessee where Nashville could see up to 1/2". It'll continue it's trek east into the Carolinas and Georgia hitting Atlanta next with up to a 1/4". It will continue then up the coast with damaging ice hitting DC and a glaze into Philadelphia and NYC. Overall a massive 1,000+ mile stretch of damaging ice is likely leading to a major test of the power grid across the south. This time tomorrow roads will be closed and we fear over a million could be without power.

-Big time snow: This storm has a snowy side to it too. We here in IL know about it with 8-14" projected in the southern portions. This snow though stretches far, hitting Oklahoma City first walloping them with 12-18"! This will then continue east dumping 12-16" in NW Arkansas and SW Missouri, 8-14" in southern IL/Indiana. This will march east bringing 10-16" to Louisville, then 12-18" to Pittsburg, Boston, NYC, Philly as well as the ENTIRE northeast. This will be the biggest snowstorm in years for many that haven't seen this kind of snow in a while!

-Incredible sleet: The sleet in this storm is absolutely insane. Usually a 1/4" of sleet is crippling to travel, but we're forecasting 4-6" of sleet across the mid-south including Arkansas, Texas into Virginia. Sleet is horrific to plow and push off roads as it forms a hard layer of ice. This will paralyze the region for days potentially and roads will be absolutely ice covered.

This storm is just simply a monster. No other words to put it. Please, stay home, do not travel. This is it folks. It's already begun and we pray we don't have loss of life from this.

It’s time to prepare. If you’re in red, begin preparations today. If you’re north of the red in the shaded box, keep monitoring.

Red region:

-Prepare for snow Saturday-Sunday, cold Monday.

-Be aware of widespread church and event cancellations Saturday/Sunday. Expect school closures potentially Monday.

-Have groceries for the weekend, avoid going out as roads will be slick.

-Alter travel plans. Avoid travel Saturday through Monday AM.

-Winterize your home. Cover drafts, check batteries in smoke detectors, ensure pipes aren’t covered.

-If traveling, having an emergency kit in your car.

Please monitor for updates folks as we are seeing shifts continue with new data from the Hurricane hunter flights last night.

Thank you to all the students, families, teachers, and members of the St James Lutheran School. We were excited for the invitation to today's Appreciation Day. It was sad that we got a call and had to miss being honored and getting to celebrate with you. Luckily, the goodies and thoughtful cards were delivered to our station. The treats are tasty, the truck is very creative, and the cards are very kind. The cards were FF Clayton's favorite!
